Callback on close dialog or dismiss

Question

Is there an option with bootbox that calls a function when the user closes the dialog via the 'x' button? I did not find a documentation about this when using bootbox.dialog().

Are there something like this:

bootbox.dialog({
    message : 'My message',
    callback : function() {
        // User is closin' the dialog. Come on do somethin'
    }
});

I even tried close, closing and closeCallback instead of callback, but non of them worked.

I figured that it's possible to achieve that by the onEscape option (callback), by looking into the source code of bootbox repository.

bootbox.dialog(function(){
    message: 'My message',
    onEscape: function() {
        // User is closin' the dialog. Come on do somethin'
    }
});

Although, this does not provide the ability of preventing the closing action. Even returning false does not seem to work.

 $(#yourModal).on('hidden.bs.modal', function () 
     {
        alert("closed");

     });

Got the answer from here: Bind a function to Twitter Bootstrap Modal Close

Then you could return false to prevent closing
