Martin,
What do you mean by "tab stop"? Do you have any sample code or app that
incorporates this idea?
Thanks,
Oakes

Well, I would still like it to act as a list - i.e., I want to be able to
highlight items in blue. It's just that I don't want the arrow to collapse
unless I click the arrow.
I'll try that workaround...not to familiar with "the clickChar," but I'll
look it up. Thanks.

Xeubie,
What happens when you turn off the "list behavior" of that field?
It looks like this only happens with list behavior turned on - dunno if
anyone else has deeper insights!
One workaround would be to use "the clickChar" to determine what exact
character they actually clicked on - and make sure it was the arrow.
HTH,

I forgot to mention, here's the code in my list field:
on linkClicked
if the angle of image arrow.gif = 0 then
set the angle of image arrow.gif to -90
else
set the angle of image arrow.gif to 0
end if
end linkClicked
Like I said, it treats the whole list item as a link, so the arrow
changes direction even if I click on the text next to the arrow. For an
idea of what it looks like, I took a snapshot and attached it to this
message.

I'm attempting to make a list field that can organize context into
"folders." I want an arrow icon next to folder names that you can
click to collapse the folder. One way to get the arrow icon next to
the text is to use "imagesource," but doing so makes it PART of the
list field itself so you can't click on it (you can only click the
whole list item).
Does anyone know an easy way to do this?
Make the first character with its imagesource set to the arrow icon
also link text (ie set its text style to link) and use the linkClicked
message in the field script to handle it.

What I do is perhaps not exactly simple, but I set a tab stop so that all
the disclosure graphics are effectively in a table column of their own.
Each line has a leading character (with or without an imagesource) followed
by a tab. Then when a line is clicked, I check the horizontal mouse
co-ordinate (minus the left co-ordinate of the field) to see if it is
within the first column as defined by the tabstops property, and if so I
treat it as a potential expand/collapse event.
I like this because it allows for some latitude in click accuracy, and lets
me do entirely different things when the remainder of the line is clicked
or double-clicked.
