How to get co-ordinate pts of items in a list control..???

I am using Doc/View arch in my application, there is a list control in one of the view also some items in other view..... I need to know the co-ordinates of these items programmatically... also i want to use "Right Click" button available in the keyboard to popup a menu at this co-ordinates... i am able to popup a menu on a mouse rt click but not with the keyboard....???

Please anybody tell me the way to do this....!!!!
It would be helpful if u can post any of the sample code related to this.... :)

What messages have you handled for the context menu?

To get position of controls, you could do this:

Code:

---

CRect rcRect;
myListCtrl.GetWindowRect(&rcRect);

But OP needs to get coordinates of list control item(s), not a control itself!

Have a look at CListCtrl::GetItemRect and CListCtrl::GetSubItemRect methods in MSDN.

As cilu guessed, you might implement it in some wrong message handler?
You should do it in OnContextMenu message handler (message WM_CONTEXTMENU) in your View (or CListCtrl) derived class.
