Cancel ComboBox dropdown closing

I want to cancel this operation if the user selects a specific item because I don't want to force the user to open the dropdown again. Can this be done?

You're going to override expected behavior of common control and it's not a good idea. If you want to provide some kind of hierarchical selection use ListBox or TreeView.

Maybe you could just use ListBox control? Preventing combobox closing is imho a bad UI design idea...

Why are you putting that item into the drop down list if you will not allow the user to select it? Can you modify your design to provide a more useful user interface?
