Hi!

I'm trying out the new fancy buttons extension. And I have made a buttons collections like this:

    $.fn.dataTable.ext.buttons.abb= {
        className: 'abb',
        extend: 'collection',
        text: 'ABB',
        buttons: [
            {
                text: 'Print',
                className: 'sik-btn-abb-print',
                action: function ()
                {
                    console.log(this.text);
                }
            }
        ],
        fade: false
    };

Once it's fired by someone clicking the collection button "ABB", the collection-menu is shown. But when the button Print is clicked, the menu is still active. This makes sence in some cases, but I would like to know how to close the collection-menu.

Also, the fade: false option doesnt seem to work - the screen still fades in - which is a pretty cool feature, btw.

Thanks in advanced.

    I had to move on, and solved it with

    $(".dt-button-background").trigger("click");
    

    If there is a function for closing the buttons collection, I must have missed it and would still be intressted in it. If there isn't any, it would be neat to have one ;)

    Anyhoo, I consider this as closed - good weekend! :)
