destroy

Prepares the NumericTextBox for safe removal from DOM. Detaches all event handlers and removes jQuery.data attributes to avoid memory leaks. Calls destroy method of any child Kendo widgets.

Important: This method does not remove the NumericTextBox element from DOM.

Example

<input id="numerictextbox" />
<script>
$("#numerictextbox").kendoNumericTextBox();

var numerictextbox = $("#numerictextbox").data("kendoNumericTextBox");

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