JavaScript/jQuery MultiView Methods
beginUpdate()
Prevents the UI component from refreshing until the endUpdate() method is called.
The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods prevent the UI component from excessive updates when you are changing multiple UI component settings at once. After the beginUpdate() method is called, the UI component does not update its UI until the endUpdate() method is called.

defaultOptions(rule)
defaultOptions is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to specify default properties for all instances of the MultiView UI component in an application executed on the desktop.
jQuery
DevExpress.ui.dxMultiView.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the MultiView properties
}
});Angular
import MultiView from "devextreme/ui/multi_view";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
constructor () {
MultiView.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the MultiView properties
}
});
}
}Vue
<template>
<div>
<DxMultiView id="multiView1" />
<DxMultiView id="multiView2" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import DxMultiView from "devextreme-vue/multi-view";
import MultiView from "devextreme/ui/multi_view";
MultiView.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the MultiView properties
}
});
export default {
components: {
DxMultiView
}
}
</script>React
import React, {useEffect} from "react";
import dxMultiView from "devextreme/ui/multi_view";
import MultiView from "devextreme-react/multi-view";
export default function App() {
useEffect(() => {
dxMultiView.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the MultiView properties
}
})
});
return (
<div>
<MultiView id="multiView1" />
<MultiView id="multiView2" />
</div>
)
}dispose()
After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:
$("#myMultiView").dxMultiView("dispose");
$("#myMultiView").remove();Use this method only if the UI component was created with jQuery or pure JavaScript. In Angular, Vue, and React, use conditional rendering:
Angular
<dx-multi-view ...
*ngIf="condition">
</dx-multi-view>Vue
<template>
<DxMultiView ...
v-if="condition">
</DxMultiView>
</template>
<script>
import DxMultiView from 'devextreme-vue/multi-view';
export default {
components: {
DxMultiView
}
}
</script>React
import React from 'react';
import MultiView from 'devextreme-react/multi-view';
function DxMultiView(props) {
if (!props.shouldRender) {
return null;
}
return (
<MultiView ... >
</MultiView>
);
}
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<DxMultiView shouldRender="condition" />
);
}
}
export default App;See Also

getInstance(element)
getInstance is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to get the MultiView instance found in an element with the myMultiView ID:
// Modular approach
import MultiView from "devextreme/ui/multi_view";
...
let element = document.getElementById("myMultiView");
let instance = MultiView.getInstance(element) as MultiView;
// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("myMultiView");
let instance = DevExpress.ui.dxMultiView.getInstance(element);See Also
registerKeyHandler(key, handler)
A handler. Accepts the keydown event as the argument. It is a EventObject or a jQuery.Event when you use jQuery.
The key argument accepts one of the following values:
- "backspace"
- "tab"
- "enter"
- "escape"
- "pageUp"
- "pageDown"
- "end"
- "home"
- "leftArrow"
- "upArrow"
- "rightArrow"
- "downArrow"
- "del"
- "space"
- "F"
- "A"
- "asterisk"
- "minus"
A custom handler for a key cancels the default handler for this key.
