title: Disabling manual inputs for KendoUI elements
body: <p>I am using few KendoUI elements like ComboBox, DatePicker etc. everything works fine but there is one major problem that these elements actually allow manual input. </p>
  
  <p>For e.g. in the comboBox I can type by clicking on it which activates a text box, which is really dangerous and spoils the purpose of using a <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> type list elements, same is the case with date picker.</p>
  
  <p>So can you guide how can I disable these manual inputs and only restrict user to the select from the available options.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input id="date" value="@DateTime.Now.Date"/&gt;
  &lt;select name="need" id="need"&gt;
                              &lt;option value="1"&gt;High&lt;/option&gt;
                              &lt;option value="2"&gt;Normal&lt;/option&gt;
                              &lt;option value="3"&gt;Low&lt;/option&gt;
                          &lt;/select&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
  
       $("#date").kendoDatePicker();
       $("#need").kendoComboBox();
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Kindly Help.</p>
