Give the Listbox.SelectedValueChanged[^] event a try.

Initiate somewhere:

C#

listbox1.SelectedValueChanged += new EventHandler(Listbox1_SelectedValueChanged);

And implement an event handler like this

C#

Listbox1_SelectedValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Listbox listbox = (Listbox)sender;

    MessageBox.Show(listbox.SelectedItem.ToString());
}

Click is easy: Handle the ListBox.Click event:

C#

private void myListBox_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    ListBox lb = sender as ListBox;
    if (lb != null)
        {
        MessageBox.Show(lb.SelectedItem);
        }
    }

"place cursor on an item" is harder - what do you mean exactly?
