JavaScript/jQuery Box 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 is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to specify default properties for all instances of the Box UI component in an application executed on the desktop.
jQuery
DevExpress.ui.dxBox.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Box properties } });
Angular
import Box, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/box"; // ... export class AppComponent { constructor () { Box.defaultOptions<Properties>({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Box properties } }); } }
Vue
<template> <div> <DxBox id="box1" /> <DxBox id="box2" /> </div> </template> <script> import DxBox from "devextreme-vue/box"; import Box from "devextreme/ui/box"; Box.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Box properties } }); export default { components: { DxBox } } </script>
React
import dxBox from "devextreme/ui/box"; import Box from "devextreme-react/box"; dxBox.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Box properties } }); export default function App() { return ( <div> <Box id="box1" /> <Box id="box2" /> </div> ) }
dispose()
jQuery
After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:
$("#myBox").dxBox("dispose"); $("#myBox").remove();
Angular
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
<dx-box ... *ngIf="condition"> </dx-box>
Vue
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
<template> <DxBox ... v-if="condition"> </DxBox> </template> <script> import DxBox from 'devextreme-vue/box'; export default { components: { DxBox } } </script>
React
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
import React from 'react'; import Box from 'devextreme-react/box'; function DxBox(props) { if (!props.shouldRender) { return null; } return ( <Box ... > </Box> ); } class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <DxBox shouldRender="condition" /> ); } } export default App;
