Solution 1

I would suggest you to do it on DoubleClick.

Do something like,

C#

switch (ListBox1.SelectedIndex) 
{
	case 0:
		//open file 1
		//Process.Start("notepad");
		break;
	case 1:
		//open file 2
		//Process.Start("calc");
		break;
	default:
		break;
	//do nothing
}

Solution 2

Do it like this :

As said by Prerak, do the below in a DoubleClick event.

Add this to your constructor :

C#

listBox2.MouseDoubleClick += new MouseButtonEventHandler(listBox2_MouseDoubleClick);

This is the function to implement it:

C#

void listBox2_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    ListBoxItem item =(ListBoxItem)listBox2.SelectedItem;
    Process.Start(item.Content.ToString());
}
