What kind of widget is the $tk_form{output_list}? ListBox? HList? Tree?

Until you post what type of widget you are using, you could use the following general steps:

1. fetch the coordinates of the mouse double-click event
2. using the coordinates, find out which 'list' item has been clicked on
3. get the item text, i.e. for an HList--$hlist->entrycget(-text)

Other links that may help:

• Advanced listboxes with Tk::HList
• Tk Man Pages
• My node has several links to Tk examples that may help
