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

defaultOptions(rule)
defaultOptions is a static method that the widget class supports. The following code demonstrates how to specify default options for all instances of the SelectBox widget in an application executed on the desktop.
jQuery
DevExpress.ui.dxSelectBox.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the SelectBox options } });
Angular
import SelectBox from "devextreme/ui/select_box"; // ... export class AppComponent { constructor () { SelectBox.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the SelectBox options } }); } }
Vue
<template> <div> <dx-select-box id="selectBox1" /> <dx-select-box id="selectBox2" /> </div> </template> <script> import DxSelectBox from "devextreme-vue/select-box"; import SelectBox from "devextreme/ui/select_box"; SelectBox.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the SelectBox options } }); export default { components: { DxSelectBox } } </script>
React
import React from "react"; import dxSelectBox from "devextreme/ui/select_box"; import SelectBox from "devextreme-react/select-box"; class App extends React.Component { render () { dxSelectBox.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the SelectBox options } }) return ( <div> <SelectBox id="selectBox1" /> <SelectBox id="selectBox2" /> </div> ) } } export default App;
dispose()
The following code disposes of an SelectBox instance that corresponds to the element ID (or reference variable in Angular) and removes the element from the DOM:
jQuery
$("#mySelectBox").dxSelectBox("dispose"); $("#mySelectBox").remove();
Angular
<dx-select-box #selectBoxVar id="mySelectBox"></dx-select-box>
import { ..., ViewChild } from "@angular/core"; import { DxSelectBoxComponent } from "devextreme-angular"; // ... export class AppComponent { @ViewChild("selectBoxVar") selectBox: DxSelectBoxComponent; removeSelectBox (e) { this.selectBox.instance.dispose(); document.getElementById("mySelectBox").remove(); } }
endUpdate()
Refreshes the widget after a call of the beginUpdate() method.
