Add select ability to Scheduler, similar as to grid, which will expose the event data item selected. This will allow for the creation of a read only detail view of the item selected. Currently, editable cannot be configured without allowing some combination of edit, delete and update.
Thanks for the suggestion, Cyndie. The scheduler exposes change event (http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/web/scheduler#events-change) with a set of arguments passed in its handler, which can serve the purpose you explained.
