I have a ComboBoxItem that acts strictly as a section title. Visually, I have it set but how do I eat the click when something is selected?
I would prefer to accomplish this in xaml, if possible. TIA

A:
You should be able to accomplish this by using the 'IsEnabled' property on the ComboBoxItem. In my quick test, this:
<ComboBox>
<ComboBoxItem>Item1</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem IsEnabled="False">Item2</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>Item3</ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox>
Results in a ComboBox with 3 items, and "Item2" does not get selected when clicked.

That would give it the default disabled try (which I could work around) but it doesn't work if I've MouseOvered a live item. So, if I click the first item that is a title, no problem. If I MouseOver a live item -- thus selecting it -- and click on the title item it accepts the click on the live MouseOvered item. Could be my Styles and templates but I thought there might be a property... Thanks!

'Default Disabled LOOK'

Interesting. Perhaps there is something happening with the style, relating to the Select-on-MouseOver functionality (it doesn't do this with the default style). A possible solution for that problem would be to handle the PreviewMouseDown event on the title item and cancel the click. This might require some work in code behind, though.
