I am trying to stop users from typing in a Kendo UI Datepicker with only being able to select value through its button and selecting the date from the pop-up along with still using Kendo UI Validator.
I have tried the answers from: Kendo UI Datepicker disable typing
It does prevent users from typing but the Validator doesn't run on any readonly or disabled fields.
Kendo Dojo with a quick example. https://dojo.telerik.com/OJupeNuX
How can I stop users from typing while still validation in place?
