Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getArticleId([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setArticleId([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property contains the message identifier of the current article. If the class is not connected or the CurrentArticle is empty, the value of this property is an empty string. Otherwise, it contains the message identifier of the article as reported by the server. The NewsServer is asked about the headers of the article only if the CurrentArticle property has changed. If the CurrentArticle has not changed, the class returns a cached value.

This property is read-only.
