destroy

Safely removes the ContextMenu from the DOM. Detaches all event handlers and removes jQuery.data attributes to avoid memory leaks. Calls destroy method of any child Kendo widgets.

If a new ContextMenu widget should be created afterwards, use a new <ul> for that, as the old one no longer exists.

Example

<div id="target">Target</div>
<ul id="context-menu">
    <li>Item 1
        <ul>
            <li>Sub Item 1</li>
            <li>Sub Item 2</li>
            <li>Sub Item 3</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Item 2
        <ul>
            <li>Sub Item 1</li>
            <li>Sub Item 2</li>
            <li>Sub Item 3</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
<script>
    // initialize the ContextMenu
    $("#context-menu").kendoContextMenu({
        target: "#target"
    });

    var contextMenu = $("#context-menu").data("kendoContextMenu");

    // detach events
    contextMenu.destroy();
</script>
