JavaScript/jQuery ScrollView Methods

This section describes the members used to manipulate the UI component.

See Also

beginUpdate()

Postpones rendering that can negatively affect performance until the endUpdate() method is called.

The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods reduce the number of renders in cases where extra rendering can negatively affect performance.

See Also

clientHeight()

Gets the UI component's height.

Return Value:

Number

The UI component's height in pixels.

See Also

clientWidth()

Gets the UI component's width.

Return Value:

Number

The UI component's width in pixels.

See Also

content()

Gets the UI component's content.

Return Value:

HTMLElement | jQuery

An HTML element or a jQuery element when you use jQuery.

Specifies the device-dependent default configuration properties for this component.

Parameters:
rule:

Object

The component's default device properties.

Object structure:
Name Type Description
device

Device

|

Function

Device parameters.
When you specify a function, get information about the current device from the argument. Return true if the properties should be applied to the device.

options

Object

Options to be applied.

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, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/scroll_view";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        ScrollView.defaultOptions<Properties>({
            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 dxScrollView from "devextreme/ui/scroll_view";
import ScrollView from "devextreme-react/scroll-view";

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

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <ScrollView id="scrollView1" />
            <ScrollView id="scrollView2" />
        </div>
    )
}

You can also set rules for multiple device types:

jQuery
JavaScript
const devicesConfig = [
    { deviceType: 'desktop' },
    { deviceType: 'tablet' },
    { deviceType: 'phone' },
];

devicesConfig.forEach(deviceConfig => {
    DevExpress.ui.dxScrollView.defaultOptions({ 
        device: deviceConfig,
        options: {
            // Here go the ScrollView properties
        }
    });
});
Angular
TypeScript
import ScrollView, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/scroll_view";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        const devicesConfig = [
            { deviceType: 'desktop' },
            { deviceType: 'tablet' },
            { deviceType: 'phone' },
        ];

        devicesConfig.forEach(deviceConfig => {
            ScrollView.defaultOptions<Properties>({
                device: deviceConfig,
                options: {
                    // Here go the ScrollView properties
                }
            });
        });
    }
}
Vue
<template>
    <div>
        <DxScrollView />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxScrollView from "devextreme-vue/scroll-view";
import ScrollView from "devextreme/ui/scroll_view";

const devicesConfig = [
    { deviceType: 'desktop' },
    { deviceType: 'tablet' },
    { deviceType: 'phone' },
];

devicesConfig.forEach(deviceConfig => {
    ScrollView.defaultOptions({
        device: deviceConfig,
        options: {
            // Here go the ScrollView properties
        }
    });
});

export default {
    components: {
        DxScrollView
    }
}
</script>
React
import dxScrollView from "devextreme/ui/scroll_view";
import ScrollView from "devextreme-react/scroll-view";

const devicesConfig = [
    { deviceType: 'desktop' },
    { deviceType: 'tablet' },
    { deviceType: 'phone' },
];

devicesConfig.forEach(deviceConfig => {
    dxScrollView.defaultOptions({
        device: deviceConfig,
        options: {
            // Here go the ScrollView properties
        }
    });
});

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <ScrollView />
        </div>
    )
}

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the ScrollView instance.

jQuery

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

JavaScript
$("#myScrollView").dxScrollView("dispose");
$("#myScrollView").remove();
Angular

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

app.component.html
<dx-scroll-view ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-scroll-view>
Vue

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

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

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

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

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

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;

element()

Gets the root UI component element.

Return Value:

HTMLElement | jQuery

An HTML element or a jQuery element when you use jQuery.

See Also

endUpdate()

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

// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("myScrollView");
let instance = DevExpress.ui.dxScrollView.getInstance(element);
