Waiting for you.

What I have tried:

void MyView::OnNMClickList3(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
	LPNMITEMACTIVATE pNMItemActivate = reinterpret_cast<LPNMITEMACTIVATE>(pNMHDR);
	int r = pNMItemActivate->iSubItem;
	int t = pNMItemActivate->iItem;
	*pResult = 0;
}

See the description of the NM\_CLICK (list view) notification code | Microsoft Docs[^]:

Quote:
The iItem member of lParam is only valid if the icon or first-column label has been clicked. To determine which item is selected when a click takes place elsewhere in a row, send an LVM_SUBITEMHITTEST message.

Add this to your code (untested):

if (t < 0)
{
    LVHITTESTINFO tHitTest;
    tHitTest.pt = pNMItemActivate->ptAction;
    // This assumes that MyView is the list view for which the message is processed.
    // If not, you have to send the message to the list using it's member variable
    //  or ::SendMessage passing it's HWND
    t = SendMessage(LVM_SUBITEMHITTEST, 0, reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>(&tHitTest));
}
