Disabled DropDownList Items

Once an item is disabled it cannot be selected as a value for the component but based on the accessibility requirements of your application it could be focusable or not focusable, when navigating the different items using a keyboard.

The skipDisabledItems property of the DropDownList controls how the disabled items will be handled in a keyboard navigation scenarios. In this article you can see how the component behaves in the following scenarios:
