Try this :

In your html :

<div id="tb"></div>

In your JS :

require(["dijit/form/ValidationTextBox",
     "dojo/on",
     "dojo/_base/event",
    "dojo/domReady!"], 
function(ValidationTextBox, on, event){
    var textBox = new ValidationTextBox({}, "tb");
    on(textBox.domNode, "keypress", function(evt){
        var charOrCode = evt.charCode || evt.keyCode;
        if ("." === String.fromCharCode(charOrCode)) {
            event.stop(evt);
        }
    });
});

Declarative example :

<div data-dojo-type="dijit/form/ValidationTextBox">
    <script type="dojo/on" data-dojo-event="keypress" data-dojo-args="evt">
        require(["dojo/_base/event"], function(event){
            var charOrCode = evt.charCode || evt.keyCode;
            if ("." === String.fromCharCode(charOrCode)) {
                event.stop(evt);
            }
        });
    </script>
</div>
