>I have a combobox that has 12 items in it that I want the user to see, but I only want them to be able to pick 8 of them. Is there a way to have the other 4 show up with a different background color, and disabled, in the dropdown? Or am I stuck coming up with something totaly different?

I think if you add a '\' before the item in your combobox, it will be disabled.
