It might be that you have a very special situation.

The general idea of having a disabled control at all is to inform the
user that that this control is potentially available but not in the
particular circumstances. There is a very good book "Tog on Interface"
by Bruce Tognazzini about user interface guidelines. It  is now over 15
years old but physiology doesn't change that fast.

If you really want to do this you could always place a text box with the
same text, same font etc. just above the control text and then make it
visible/insible.
