HitTest for CListCtrl

[NoName II]

as I understand HitTest should return the index of CListCtrl's item that been clicked, or -1. CPoint point; GetCursorPos(&point); UINT uFlags; int nIndex=m_lstLeft.HitTest(point,&uFlags); nIndex==-1... always

GetCursorPos returns the mouse position in screen coordinates. Try this: CPoint point; GetCursorPos(&point); **m_lstLeft.ScreenToClient(&point);** UINT uFlags; int nIndex=m_lstLeft.HitTest(point,&uFlags);

GetCursorPos offers the position in screen coordinates, while HitTest requires client coordinates. You probably have to use ScreenToClient function. Try this:

CPoint point;
GetCursorPos(point);
ScreenToClient(point);
UINT uFlags;
int nIndex=m_lstLeft.HitTest(point,&uFlags);

anyway smth wrong.. function returns not index of selected Item.. but index of the item+2(or +3) I cant understand why..

The suggested ScreenToClient call is for the case you handle the messages within your CListCtrl-derived control. Otherwise, if you are in parent dialog, you should try the solution posted by Steve Echols: m_lstLeft.ScreenToClient(&point). Please specify in which class you are processing the message. If your problem is to find the selected (highlighted) item, why GetNextItem(-1, LVNI_ALL | LVNI_SELECTED) is not suitable for you?
