GetFocusObject generally gives you the MSAA object and focused childID
of a list if you're in one. GetCurrentObject does the same but with
respect to whichever cursor is active, rather than with respect to
focus, meaning the childID you get should refer to the item under the
active cursor. I rarely use getCurrentObject for some reason though,
preferring to use getObjectAtPoint instead.
If you're not working with the focused or current window, you can
indeed use GetObjectFromEvent to get the object, but then you'll have
to use some other method to figure out which list item you want, since
by definition you don't have a "focused" or "current" item.

Hi Doug,
So if I find the list view or list box, can I do a get object from event on it
and which ever list item the event happened on will be what I get at, or does
it work some other way?
Thanks.

No. A ListBox has one window handle. A ListView tends to have a
handle for the ListView itself and a child window for the headers.
Neither have window handles for the list items or, for listViews,
headers. For that, you need MSAA objects.

Hi,
When you have a list view or list box, and inside the list view or list box
there are list view items or list box items, should you see a window handle for
the list view or list box, and one for each list view item or list box item?
Thanks.
