Hi Steve,

I am not sure I understand your question very well. In case you wish to refer to the widget's instance through some of the viewModel's fields, then you should assign it first. For example:

<script>

var viewModel = kendo.observable({

now: new Date(),

showMessage: function(){

this.set("now", new Date());

var time = kendo.toString(this.get("now"), "HH:mm:ss:fff");

this.notification.info(time);

}

});

kendo.bind($("#example"), viewModel);

viewModel.set("notification", $("#ntf1").data("kendoNotification"));

</script>

Automatically referencing the widget through the viewModel is not supported out of the box, although it could be achieved using a custom binding.

If that is not what you are after I would ask you to elaborate a bit.

Sorry I was unclear, it's not that I'm wanting to reference the widget in the model...it's that the widget (like others) should be source bindable to an array in the model.

So I can define that a div in the markup is of type notification, and it's source is defined as X property in my model, then I would just need to add items to my models array where the widget would pop them out (or something).

The way it currently works is that there isn't a separation of concerns. The showmessage function is then using jQuery to search the markup to then find the widget and then throw something into its info function...know what I mean?
