QueryTop Property

Selects the first N entries when querying a service.

Syntax

 odata.getQueryTop([callback])
 odata.setQueryTop( queryTop, [callback])

Default Value

""

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 getQueryTop([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 setQueryTop([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 allows you to specify the number of entries (taken from the top of the list) to be returned when calling QueryService. The specified value should not be a value less than 0.

By default, the service you are querying will sort the entries using a scheme selected by the OData service you are querying. However you can use QueryOrderBy to specify how the entries should be sorted prior to selecting the top N items.

This property is not available at design time.
