How to dynamically change exportable Datatable button names after instantiation? - button

Question

How to dynamically change exportable Datatable button names after they have already instantiated? Or how do I get my fnDeleteRow method to "activate" dynamically so that the existing buttons dynamically rename themselves? If they don't refresh themselves, I would like for the Do Stuff button to change the names of the other two (Excel and PDF) button names. (Isn't fnDeleteRow supposed to update ALL parts of the datatable? Are the button names cached?)
Here's part of the datatabe:
,"dom": 'B<"ui-toolbar ui-widget-header ui-corner-tl ui-corner-tr ui-helper-clearfix">'
,"columnDefs": [
{
"targets": [ 0, 1, 2, 3],
"visible": false,
"searchable": false
}
]
, buttons: [
{
extend: 'excelHtml5',
name: 'excelBtn',
text: function ( dt, button, config ) {
return 'Export all ' + dt.data().count() + ' entries to Excel'
}
},
{
extend: 'pdfHtml5',
orientation: 'landscape',
name: 'pdfBtn',
action: function(e, dt, button, config) {
config.text = 'Export all ' + dt.data().count() + ' entries to PDF';
$.fn.dataTable.ext.buttons.pdfHtml5.action(e, dt, button, config);
}
,header: true
,title: 'System'
,fontSize: '15'
,exportOptions: {
columns: [ 0, 1, 2, 3]
}
,customize: function ( doc ) {
doc["footer"] = function(currentPage, pageCount) {
return { text: ' Page ' + currentPage.toString() + ' of ' + pageCount + ' \r \n ' + getCurrentDateTime() , alignment: 'center' };
};
doc.content.splice( 1, 0, {
margin: [ 0, 0, 0, 12 ],
alignment: 'center',
bold: true,
style: 'header',
text: 'All Search Results'
}
);
}
},
{
text: 'Do Stuff',
action: function ( e, dt, node, config ) {
alert( 'Button to DO Stuff activated' );
if (confirm('Are you sure you want to "Do Stuff"?') == true) {
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "...",
contentType: 'application/json',
data: {items: stuffToDo, year:$('#year').val()},
success: function( data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
Blockquote
Inside success (here), insert/modify code (or buttons.text above?) to update other button names after (this) button was pressed and all buttons were previously already initialized
??($('#searchDatatableResultsTable').dataTable()).button('pdfBtn:name' )???
