Can I disable ViewCell.ContextActions based on a condition

Question

Hi I using a Xamarin Forms ListView and I want to know if I can disable the Context Actions based on a certain binding or in the code behind.

I am using one GroupedListView for the whole application but it displays different data based on what the user is doing. There is a "Manage your Favorites" feature where I want the user to be able to swipe-to-delete on iOS or long-press on android to remove a ListItem, but I do not want this behavior if the list is displaying some search result or something else

<ViewCell.ContextActions>
    <MenuItem Text="Delete" IsDestructive="true" CommandParameter="{Binding .}" Command="{Binding Path=BindingContext.OnDeleteCommand, Source={x:Reference Name=ListViewPage}}"/>
</ViewCell.ContextActions>

This did not disable it...

<ViewCell.ContextActions IsEnabled="false"> //This IsEnabled does nothing
    <MenuItem Text="Delete" IsDestructive="true" CommandParameter="{Binding .}" Command="{Binding Path=BindingContext.OnDeleteCommand, Source={x:Reference Name=ListViewPage}}"/>
</ViewCell.ContextActions>

How can I disable the ContextActions? I dont wan't the user to always be able to swipe

For what I wanted to achieve I did the following...

In the XAML

<ViewCell BindingContextChanged="OnBindingContextChanged">

In the code behind

private void OnBindingContextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnBindingContextChanged();

    if (BindingContext == null)
        return;

    ViewCell theViewCell = ((ViewCell)sender);
    var item = theViewCell.BindingContext as ListItemModel;
    theViewCell.ContextActions.Clear();

    if (item != null)
    {
        if (item.ListItemType == ListItemTypeEnum.FavoritePlaces
           || item.ListItemType == ListItemTypeEnum.FavoritePeople)
        {
            theViewCell.ContextActions.Add(new MenuItem()
            {
                Text = "Delete"
            });
        }
    }
}

Based which type of list item we are dealing with, we get to decide where to place the context actions
