Hi, @kylefox, Is it possible show confirmation screen/modal before closing the modal?

[kylefox]

Hmm, there is the $.modal.BEFORE_CLOSE event that fires when the modal is about to close, but I don't believe it's possible to prevent the modal from closing at this point.

You'll probably need to manually bind to the elements & events that might cause the modal to close, i.e. the click event on the close icon and/or backdrop.

I ended up updating the modal code to fire custom event before closing the modal. Please check my code change. I'm pretty sure you can implement this in a far better way.
