Prepares the ComboBox 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 ComboBox element from DOM.

Example

<input id="combobox" /> <script> $("#combobox").kendoComboBox(); var combobox = $("#combobox").data("kendoComboBox"); combobox.destroy(); </script>
