Question

Answer 1

You can listen to the doubleclick event of the ListView and check what item was under the cursor (if any) like:

void listView1_MouseDoubleClick(Object^  sender, MouseEventArgs^  e) 
{
     ListViewItem^ item = this->listView1->GetItemAt(e->X, e->Y);
}

Answer 2

You can also use ItemActivate event (while Activation property is set to ItemActivation.DoubleClick ). Then you can set up everything from designer.
