  console.log('click', e);
}

  <Menu onClick={handleMenuClick}>
    <Menu.Item key="1" icon={<UserOutlined />}>
      1st menu item
    </Menu.Item>
    <Menu.Item key="2" icon={<UserOutlined />}>
      2nd menu item
    </Menu.Item>
    <Menu.Item key="3" icon={<UserOutlined />}>
      3rd menu item
    </Menu.Item>

    <Dropdown.Button onClick={handleButtonClick} overlay={menu} disabled>
      Dropdown
    </Dropdown.Button>
    <Dropdown.Button
      overlay={menu}
      buttonsRender={([leftButton, rightButton]) => [
        <Tooltip title="tooltip" key="leftButton">
          {leftButton}
        </Tooltip>,
        React.cloneElement(rightButton, { loading: true }),
      ]}
    >
      With Tooltip
    </Dropdown.Button>
    <Dropdown overlay={menu}>

class OverlayVisible extends React.Component {
  state = {
    visible: false,
  };

  handleMenuClick = e => {
    if (e.key === '3') {
      this.setState({ visible: false });
    }
  };

  handleVisibleChange = flag => {
    this.setState({ visible: flag });
  };

  render() {
    const menu = (
      <Menu onClick={this.handleMenuClick}>
        <Menu.Item key="1">Clicking me will not close the menu.</Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item key="2">Clicking me will not close the menu also.</Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item key="3">Clicking me will close the menu.</Menu.Item>
      </Menu>
    );
    return (
      <Dropdown
        overlay={menu}
        onVisibleChange={this.handleVisibleChange}
        visible={this.state.visible}
      >
        <a className="ant-dropdown-link" onClick={e => e.preventDefault()}>
          Hover me <DownOutlined />
