Actually, I was wrong in suggesting that the "removeAllItems()" method
should work, since the underlying model is a "read-only" or non-mutable one.

There's a misunderstanding here.  The event is indeed working.  It's 
what you want to do with the event handling which is not working.  So,
what this means is that you have to rethink the use of this particular
component.  Since it won't do what you want to do given its use of a 
non-mutable list model, you must begin searching around for another
way to solve the problem.  


   What is the purpose of this control?  Does it navigate the dataset? 
   Or does it simply present a list of the unique items in the column 
   to which it is bound?

   Because you want to delete items (sometimes all of them) from the
   component's list model, it would appear that unless you are willing
   to delete rows in the bound dataset, you really aren't using it as
   a navigation control.  Is this correct?

There's no reason to disable the events since there are legitimate things
you could do as a listener.  However, removing items from the list is simply
not one of them.

I had an idea that you were indeed panicking.  Hopefully we can push the
code a little if we can relax and better establish the design requirements
for this particular control.
