How to disable Editor in Fluent API?

[Ian]

I am using the Fluent API of the Telerik UI for Asp.Net MVC to build a form that has an Editor as one of it's elements, bound to a backing property in my model. I want my view to act as both the edit and display page for my model, so I want to disable the Editor when in display mode, but I cannot find a method to do so, and my attempts to change the contenteditable attribute to false have failed. y research lead me to work arounds in other version of Kendo-UI that haven't worked for me. Below is a snippet of my form with the Editor that I am looking to disable.

@(Html
    .Kendo()
    .Form<CorrectiveActionAddEditModel>()
    .Name("formInformation")
    .HtmlAttributes(new { action="Add", method="POST"})
    .Items(i => {
            i.Add()
            .Field(f => f.Description)
            .Editor(e => e.Editor().HtmlAttributes(new { contenteditable = false }))
            .Label(l => l.Text(SharedHtmlLocalizer["Description"].Value))
            .InputHtmlAttributes(new { data_val_required = string.Format(Localizer["TheField_Name_IsRequired"], Localizer["Description"]), contenteditable=ViewBag.IsEdit });
        }
    )
)

 

How can I disable this Editor through the Fluent API? If that isn't possible, how can I disable it via javascript (specifically jQuery)?
