  };

  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>
