Disabling manual input in dijit.form.DateTextBox

I want to only have the calendar to specify my textbox input, and not permit keyboard-punched numbers in my calendar textbox, inside dijit.form.DateTextBox. Is there any way to do that?

Thanks.

There are two options that you can use to disable the dojo date input element.

Code

1) Use the setDisabled(true) method

dijit.byId('id').setDisabled(true);

or

2) Set disable the property directly. (You'll need to disable both elements)

dijit.byId(id).disabled = true;
dijit.byId(id).textbox.disabled = true;

The code below can be used to make DateTextBox read only:

<input data-dojo-type="dijit/form/DateTextBox" 
       data-dojo-id="effectiveDate" 
       type="text" 
       name="effectiveDate" 
       id="effectiveDate" 
       data-dojo-props="'readonly': 'readonly'"/>

Updating the answer from MrZombie in the extended widget you can add:

 //to disable input from user at the textbox.s
                        startup:function(){
                            this.inherited(arguments);
                            dojo.connect(this, "onKeyPress", function(evt){
                                dojo.stopEvent(evt);
                            });   

                        },

At the startup of the widget.

I actually ended up using something else - here is my solution:

dojo.addOnLoad(function () {
            dojo.query(".dijitDateTextBox input[role='textbox']").forEach(function (node, index, arr) {
                node.setAttribute('readonly', 'readonly');
            });

        });

By setting the elements I needed to "readonly", I get the desired effect. I execute this on my page loads, I'm not sure about the overhead, but the main point is, it works.

@Sudhir : if you set the widget to disabled then you can't select a date on the calendar either.

Try this :

dojo.ready(function(){
    dojo.connect(dijit.byId("yourcalendarid"), "onKeyPress", function(evt){
        dojo.stopEvent(evt);
    });             
});

You could add disabled parameter to your input:

<input type="text" name="startDate" dojoType="dijit.form.DateTextBox" 
  constraints="{datePattern:'MM/dd/yyyy'}"  
  value='' disabled
  validate='return true;'
/>

Hope it helps
