Make Combobox non editable

This is how to make the telerik kendoui Combobox non editable and programatically prevent user to enter any character in Combobox, also the user cannot paste any text in it.

If you simply need non editable kendoComboBox(), you could use kendoDropDownList() instead.

In my case i needed it to be enabled or disabled depending on user privileges, so here's the solution i came up with, this prevents key inputs and pasting values.
