I am following this post and thinking of it as I don't have the time to test it. I want to fall back to Windows Development for a second to address it.

When a list view or combo box loaded data from a DB, programmers and I always repopulated the items from the DB or an array in the RAM. The question becomes, why do you want to disable a dropdown item if there is no way to interact with it? Simply remove it by using style="display: none;" Problem solved.
