title: WPF: Disable the selected item in ComboBox
body: <p>I have been going through posts for 3 hours now with no resolution. I am new to WPF and created the ComboBox below:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3eXzW.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3eXzW.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I cannot disable the highlighting of the selected item. Does anyone have a viable solution?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Code</strong>: </p>
  
  <pre><code>            &lt;StackPanel Grid.Column="1" 
                          Margin="800,0,0,0"
                          Width="135"
                          HorizontalAlignment="Right"
                          VerticalAlignment="Center"&gt;
                  &lt;ComboBox Name="LangComboBox"
                            IsEditable="True"
                            IsReadOnly="True"
                            Text="Select Language"&gt;
                      &lt;ComboBoxItem&gt;English&lt;/ComboBoxItem&gt;
                      &lt;ComboBoxItem&gt;Spanish&lt;/ComboBoxItem&gt;
                      &lt;ComboBoxItem&gt;Both&lt;/ComboBoxItem&gt;
                  &lt;/ComboBox&gt;
              &lt;/StackPanel&gt;
