ColVis: “Restore original” button does not trigger fnStatechange

antoniosouto

Hello.

First of all I am a DataTables Fan! Allan: Great Job with it and with ColVis as well!

I am using ColVis in a table with individual column filters and I use fnStateChange to remove/reapply the column filter when I hide/restore it. As I have a lot of columns I let some of them initially hidden and set bRestore to true, so the user may change the columns visibility at will and return to the original view with just one click.

Everything works just fine when I click on the columns checkboxes. But if I click on the restore button fnStatechange is not triggered, even though the columns visibility state has changed. Is that the expected behaviour?

I am using DataTables 1.8.2 and ColVis 1.0.6

Best Regards,

Just for the record, I was able to workaround it by attaching an event listener to the button:

$('button.ColVis_Restore').live('click', function() {
oTable.dataTableSettings[ 0 ].aoColumns[ originaly_hidden_column_id_a ].bSearchable = false;
oTable.dataTableSettings[ 0 ].aoColumns[ originaly_hidden_column_id_b ].bSearchable = false;
...
oGridTable.fnDraw();
});

I've just been digging around the code a bit and can't see any reason why this wouldn't work, although I am using DataTables 1.9 and ColVis 1.0.7. I've also just modified my examples to try this and as far as I can tell this is working okay, so I think you might just need to update.
