mob
    var
        showstats = 0
    Stat()
        //codes blah blah blah
        //your button might be located here
        //codes blah blah blah
        if(showstats)
            stat("Health:", "???")
        //codes blah blah blah
        //your button might be located here
        //codes blah blah blah
obj
    Button
        name = "ButtonName"
        proc/Toggle_DropDown()
            if(usr.showstats) usr.showstats = 0
            else  usr.showstats = 1
        Click()
            Toggle_DropDown()

Never use "usr" in a proc. The following code fixes that and is a bit more robust.
obj
      Button
            name = "ButtonName"
            proc/Toggle_DropDown()
                  src.showstats=!src.showstats

Someone with more experience than me may point out something else that's incorrect.

I'm a newbie myself. The part about the ! operator in this article made me think of your post.

I don't think it's possible, but, like I said, I'm a newbie.

I've been away a while, so interface files are new to me. Maybe it has something to do with that. What does the drop-down list look like? Does it look like a list of verbs you get when right clicking on something with verbs? (I hope you understood that; it wasn't very well explained.)

Its like when u click the verb in the stats panel your stats appear in an dropdown list.
i'll just try figure it out myself then :/

Okay, so you didn't understand. Wait for someone with more experience to help you, because I cannot.

Like this?

mob
    Stat()
        statpanel("Statistics")
        stat(new/obj/togglebutton_stats)
        if(show1)
            stat("stat1")
            stat("stat2")
            stat("stat3")
        stat(new/obj/togglebutton_inventory)
        if(show2)
            stat("Inventory")
            stat("Nothing here :(")
    var
        show1=1
        show2=1

obj
    togglebutton_inventory
        name="Toggle Inventory"
        Click()
            if(!usr.show2)
                usr.show2=1
            else usr.show2=!usr.show2
    togglebutton_stats
        name="Toggle Stats"
        Click()
            if(!usr.show1)
                usr.show1=1
            else usr.show1=!usr.show1


Worked for me =/ however there is probably an easier way of doing it.
