Oakes,
Sorry, I should have described that more clearly, I was referring to the
tabstops property of fields. See tabstops in the docs.
It is a list of the form: 24,48,90,178
The numbers are distance in pixels from the left of the field. The
property governs where column boundaries are located. Any tabs in your
text will align to them. you can have gridlines drawn where they occur
if you want or none if you don't.
You can set the tabstops in the inspector for a field or in the message
box or a script like in this example:
set the tabstops of field "myfield" to "24,48,90,178,309"
Useful property

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

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.
