With the current released Dynamic Data (3.5 SP1) you can hide the FK field with [ScaffoldColumn(false)]

If you use the  -ASP.NET Dynamic Data 4.0 Preview 2 is you can apply the new filter attribute [Filter(Enabled = false)]

I think your question may be misunderstood.  Are you trying to:

1. Not have a drop down at all for some of the filters
2. Have all the drop downs, but limit which foreign entries are included in there

Rick's answer is for #1.

After reading the post again in this thread I think you want which would be custom filters.

2. Have all the drop downs, but limit which foreign entries are included in there

Have a look at this series of articles from my blog here:

2. Part 2 - Create the AnyColumn filter from the Dynamic Data Futures Integer filter.

Hi Nezdet,

In the 3.5 SP1 version of Dynamic Data the rendering and logic for the filter dropdown is defined in DynamicData\Content\FilterUserControl.ascx. You will have to modify the body of the Page_Init method and replace the call to PopulateListControl with yout custom logic for inserting entries into the dropdown list.
