Get Existing Drawing Surface after initilization

[Nicholas]

Say I create a new surface:

var surface = draw.Surface.create($("#surface"));

 

Now in a different part of the program I want get that existing surface.  In other kendo widgets I can do for example $("#surface").data("kendoGrid")

 

but I can't seem to figure out how to do the same thing with a drawing surface.

Hello Nicholas,

At my end getting the reference to the surface works as expected. See this dojo, in which we first create a Surface and in the button's click handler we get a reference to it and clear it by calling its clear method.
