I have a list box with some items. Is there anyway I can attach a double click event to each item?

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

If i was to double click Item 2, a Messagebox saying "Item 2" would pop up

How would i do this?

void listBox1_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
         int index = this.listBox1.IndexFromPoint(e.Location);
         if (index != System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.NoMatches)
            {
              MessageBox.Show(index.ToString());
            }
     }
