Attach Calendar to text input

Is there a setting somewhere that will allow the text to remain editable. What I really need out of this control is to allow both keyboard input AND mouse input via the calendar. I was about to start trying to "roll my own" using the dhtmlxCalendar; but I don't want to waste my time if it's just something that I've missed in the doco.

There is no such setting. Basically calendar doesn't control editability of control., and if it was defined as editable it still be editable when calendar initialized.
To made possible "double way selection" you can just use separate input and calendar linked with some js code.

Please check attached sample.
