With this bit of code you will be able to know if a click on a listview control was made over any subitem. The example below shows the logic to that in the DblClick event of the listview control.
You Need: Listview1 ~ create some columns and set View to lvwReport.
Double click any column/row on the Listview1's grid to see the results. Note that you won't see anything unless you fill up the listview with a few items; this can be done for testing purposes in the Form_Load() event.
