GetIndex() is a method of event, so you should be using event:GetIndex(), but I don't think it's populated for mouse events (LEFT_CLICK). For mouse events you may need to use wxListCtrl:FindItem (if it's available through wxlua) to get the item closest to the position of the click. To get the coordinates of the click you can use event:GetPoint() (if available) or something like this:
local mousePos = wx.wxGetMousePosition() -- mouse pos on screen
local clientPos = lpanelList:ScreenToClient(mousePos)
Instead of using mouse events, you can also use wxEVT_COMMAND_LIST_ITEM_ACTIVATED, in which case you can do local index = event:GetIndex() (I think this index is 0-based).
If you are using wxlua, I found the samples that are included with it (samples/ folder) a good source of solutions supported with wxlua API.
