Making a .NET 2.0 Menu item not selectable

I am trying to use the .NET 2.0 menu component, and have one small problem.
I am trying to disable the user from selecting an item in the static menu, but cannot figure out how.

I have a horizontal menu with dropdowns. To do so, I have one row of items (Static Menu) which always are there, and different dropdowns (DynamicMenus) which appear when I hover over items in the Static Menu.

I want to make the items in my Static menu not selectable - because I have no URLs / pages associated with them. They are just categories of items. However, I want to have the dropdowns appear when I hover over them.

Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to disable the selection of the static menu items, while still making the dropdowns appear. I found one control (I cannot find it now) that set the items enabled property to false, but then none of the dynamic menus appeared.

Here is my code. Thanks,

Peter
