Is it possible to lock a ComboBox from selecting items, but still retrieve current shown item?

[poila]

Sample code:

;   Enter username to transfer item to Input
    $newUserInput = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 180, 170, 350, 35, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWNLIST, $WS_VSCROLL, $CBS_SORT))
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 400, 0, "Tahoma")
    GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $CB_SETMINVISIBLE, 10, 0)

Part 2 of sample code:

If $itemString <> "" Then
        Local $mySQLstatement = "SELECT * FROM Inventory WHERE Name = '" & $itemString & "' AND Status = 1"
        $executeStatement = _Query($global_SQLInstance, $mySQLstatement)
        $internalName = $executeStatement.Fields("Name").value
        $usernameID = $executeStatement.Fields("UserID").value
        GUICtrlSetData($userInput, getName("User", $usernameID))
        GUICtrlSetData($itemInput, "|" & getString("UserItem", $usernameID) & "|", $Name)
        GUICtrlSetData($newUserInput, "|" & getString("Username", $usernameID))
    EndIf

Is it possible to prevent users from changing selection of items in the combobox?

If so, is it possible to retrieve the value or data of the item currently shown in the combobox?

If so/not so, how do I retrieve the value of item displayed?

Try:

GUICtrlSetState($newUserInput, $GUI_DISABLE)
