Doug,

Be warned, disabled items can not be mouse selected, but they can be keyboard selected, and coding around it is a PITA. It's better to not put the item in the list at all if it can't be selected.

>The help says ... "An item in a ComboBox control can be disabled by placing a backslash (\) before the item. If the item begins with a backslash and should not be disabled, add an additional backslash."

>However, it doesn't seem to work in my tests. Am I doing something wrong? Or, did this option ever work?
