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 ScrollView UI component in an application executed on the desktop.

jQuery

JavaScript

DevExpress.ui.dxScrollView.defaultOptions({ 
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the ScrollView properties
    }
});

Angular

TypeScript

import ScrollView from "devextreme/ui/scroll_view";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        ScrollView.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the ScrollView properties
            }
        });
    }
}

Vue

<template>
    <div>
        <DxScrollView id="scrollView1" />
        <DxScrollView id="scrollView2" />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxScrollView from "devextreme-vue/scroll-view";
import ScrollView from "devextreme/ui/scroll_view";

ScrollView.defaultOptions({
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the ScrollView properties
    }
});

export default {
    components: {
        DxScrollView
    }
}
</script>

React

import React, {useEffect} from "react";
import dxScrollView from "devextreme/ui/scroll_view";
import ScrollView from "devextreme-react/scroll-view";

export default function App() {
    useEffect(() => { 
        dxScrollView.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the ScrollView properties
            }
        })
    });

    return (
        <div>
            <ScrollView id="scrollView1" />
            <ScrollView id="scrollView2" />
        </div>
    )
}

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the ScrollView instance.

After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:

JavaScript

$("#myScrollView").dxScrollView("dispose");
$("#myScrollView").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

app.component.html

<dx-scroll-view ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-scroll-view>

Vue

App.vue

<template>
    <DxScrollView ...
        v-if="condition">
    </DxScrollView>
</template>

<script>
import DxScrollView from 'devextreme-vue/scroll-view';

export default {
    components: {
        DxScrollView
    }
}
</script>

React

App.js

import React from 'react';

import ScrollView from 'devextreme-react/scroll-view';

function DxScrollView(props) {
    if (!props.shouldRender) {
        return null;
    }

    return (
        <ScrollView ... >    
        </ScrollView>
    );
}

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <DxScrollView shouldRender="condition" />
        );
    }
}
export default App;
