Disable Items in ListView

[Bob]

Is there any practical way to disable items within a ListView control?
I'd like to be able to 'filter' the list incrementally without
actually removing anything (so I can remove the filter to get back to
the full list).

The ListView will have a large number of items, so it would be
time-consuming to clone them and create new ListViews, etc. Even as it
is, it takes a long while to just iterate thru the items.

Any ideas?

Just to be clear, I need to make the item completely disappear from
the list. The objective is to shorten the very long list so it is
easier to scroll through in searching for certain items.
