Selected Item in ListBox 1

[lespaul]

If I have a list box that shows:

525: CV12345
526: DW12345
527: CR12345

and I want the user to double click on one of the items, how can I extract the first three characters (525 or 526)of the line that was double clicked?

Thanks!

Something like this:

uses StrUtils;

procedure TForm1.ListBox1DblClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ShowMessage( LeftStr( ListBox1.Items[ListBox1.ItemIndex], 3 ) );
end;
