Add an enable() method to Editor to enable/disable the editor widget.

The following link mentions how to disable the contenteditable, but this does not disable the toolbar: http://www.telerik.com/forums/disable-readonly-and-maxlength-for-kendoeditor

Something like:

function(enable) { 
                        $(this.body).attr("contenteditable", enable);
                        if (enable) {
                            this.toolbar.element.closest(".k-editor-toolbar-wrap").find(".k-disabled-overlay").remove();
                        } else {
                            this.toolbar.element.closest(".k-editor-toolbar-wrap").append("<div class='k-disabled-overlay'></div>");
                        }
                    }
