You can do that using the CListCtrl class The following member functions need to be used - GetFirstSelectedItemPosition GetNextSelectedItem GetItemText

// Map double click using event handling ON_NOTIFY(NM_DBLCLK, IDC_LIST1, &CListSampleDlg::OnNMDblclkList) // in the callback function

void CListSampleDlg::OnNMDblclkList(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
LPNMITEMACTIVATE pNMItemActivate = reinterpret_cast(pNMHDR);

// Get 3rd item's text.
CString str = m\_List.GetItemText( pNMItemActivate->iItem, 2 );

AfxMessageBox( str );

\*pResult = 0;

}

is this what you want?

Thank you for the code. Though it wasn't working I got an idea and completed the required one. But if i want to save the data of the 3rd column in a string of about more than one selected rows with "|" as separator. Please let me know how can this achieved. Thanks in advance

I believe Superman already given you idea on getting text of selected items. Here's the code snippet. Please check MSDN.It contains lot of sample snippet with documentation

CString strColumText;
POSITION pos = m_List.GetFirstSelectedItemPosition();
if (pos == NULL)
{
TRACE(_T("No items were selected!\n"));
}
else
{
while (pos)
{
int nItem = m_List.GetNextSelectedItem(pos);
strColumText += _T("|") + m_List.GetItemText( nItem, 2 );
}
}
