NewArchive Property

Indicates whether the archive object represents a new (rather than opened) archive.

Syntax

 archivewriter.getNewArchive([callback])

Default Value

FALSE

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 getNewArchive([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 setNewArchive([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 is set to true if the archive is new, or to false if the class control is editing an existing archive.

NewArchive would typically be set to true after a CreateNew call, and to false after an Open call.

This property is read-only.
