use data() with custom widget?

[Stephen]

I have created a custom widget based on the tutorial: http://docs.kendoui.com/howto/create-custom-kendo-widget

if I try to do: $( '#widgetId' ).data( 'kendoMyCustomWidget' ).something(); 

This doesn't work or:

$( '#widgetId' ).data( 'MyCustomWidget' ).something(); 

This is how the kendoWindow API example references internal methods and I would like to be able to do this also.

Any ideas?


Thanks.

Hi Stephen,

The tutorial should be sufficient to implement a custom widget. Here is a live demo showing that:

If you need further assistance please provide your code so we can take a look.

It appears that I was calling data() before the object was created! My bad!

Thanks for the quick response.
