Vue ContextMenu 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 ContextMenu UI component in an application executed on the desktop.
jQuery
DevExpress.ui.dxContextMenu.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the ContextMenu properties } });
Angular
import ContextMenu from "devextreme/ui/context_menu"; // ... export class AppComponent { constructor () { ContextMenu.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the ContextMenu properties } }); } }
Vue
<template> <div> <DxContextMenu id="contextMenu1" /> <DxContextMenu id="contextMenu2" /> </div> </template> <script> import DxContextMenu from "devextreme-vue/context-menu"; import ContextMenu from "devextreme/ui/context_menu"; ContextMenu.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the ContextMenu properties } }); export default { components: { DxContextMenu } } </script>
React
import React, {useEffect} from "react"; import dxContextMenu from "devextreme/ui/context_menu"; import ContextMenu from "devextreme-react/context-menu"; export default function App() { useEffect(() => { dxContextMenu.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the ContextMenu properties } }) }); return ( <div> <ContextMenu id="contextMenu1" /> <ContextMenu id="contextMenu2" /> </div> ) }
dispose()
After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:
$("#myContextMenu").dxContextMenu("dispose"); $("#myContextMenu").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-context-menu ... *ngIf="condition"> </dx-context-menu>
Vue
<template> <DxContextMenu ... v-if="condition"> </DxContextMenu> </template> <script> import DxContextMenu from 'devextreme-vue/context-menu'; export default { components: { DxContextMenu } } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import ContextMenu from 'devextreme-react/context-menu'; function DxContextMenu(props) { if (!props.shouldRender) { return null; } return ( <ContextMenu ... > </ContextMenu> ); } class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <DxContextMenu shouldRender="condition" /> ); } } export default App;

getInstance(element)
getInstance is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to get the ContextMenu instance found in an element with the myContextMenu
ID:
// Modular approach import ContextMenu from "devextreme/ui/context_menu"; ... let element = document.getElementById("myContextMenu"); let instance = ContextMenu.getInstance(element) as ContextMenu; // Non-modular approach let element = document.getElementById("myContextMenu"); let instance = DevExpress.ui.dxContextMenu.getInstance(element);

hide()

The key argument accepts one of the following values:
