Managing the DatePicker Disabled State in Reactive Forms

To disable the DatePicker component when working with reactive forms and Angular 15 or later, use the FormControl's disabled property/option or disable() method.

Angular 15 introduces a breaking change affecting the synchronization of setDisabledState with the model-DOM. This impacts components using the disabled attribute. As a result, the disabled property of the Kendo UI for Angular components used prior to Angular 15 is no longer working in reactive forms.
