JavaScript/jQuery ScrollView Methods

This section describes the members used to manipulate the widget.

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 is a static method that the widget class supports. The following code demonstrates how to specify default options for all instances of the ScrollView widget in an application executed on the desktop.

jQuery
JavaScript
DevExpress.ui.dxScrollView.defaultOptions({ 
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the ScrollView options
    }
});
Angular
TypeScript
import ScrollView from 'devextreme/ui/scroll_view';
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        ScrollView.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the ScrollView options
            }
        });
    }
}

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the ScrollView instance.

The following code disposes of an ScrollView instance that corresponds to the element ID (or reference variable in Angular) and removes the element from the DOM:

jQuery
JavaScript
$("#myScrollView").dxScrollView("dispose");
$("#myScrollView").remove();
Angular
HTML
<dx-scroll-view #scrollViewVar id="myScrollView"></dx-scroll-view>
TypeScript
import { ..., ViewChild } from "@angular/core";
import { DxScrollViewComponent } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild("scrollViewVar") scrollView: DxScrollViewComponent;

    removeScrollView (e) {
        this.scrollView.instance.dispose();
        document.getElementById("myScrollView").remove();
    }
}

...
let element = document.getElementById("myScrollView");
let instance = ScrollView.getInstance(element) as ScrollView;

// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("myScrollView");
