I have an mfc dialog app in vs 2008 and have added a list control. I know how to clear the list and add items to the list, but I don't understand how to select an item from the list when I click on it. Actually, I would like to perform an action when the selected item is double-clicked.

The system selects the item for you, you don't have to do anything.
>> Actually, I would like to perform an action when the selected item is double-clicked.
When you right click with the mouse you can add an event handler - select the double click from the choices and let the wizard generate the code for you.
