How to prevent bootbox modal from closing by clicking on a button?

Question

I add a button in the footer and I don't want that the modal close when I click on it. I tried preventDefault but it doesn't work..

dialog.find('.modal-footer').append('<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Display</button>')

I use bootbox.

Thank you.

The button in `modal-footer` only closes the modal because `data-dismiss="modal"` is being applied. We'll need to see more of your code to understand why any button trigger is closing the modal. — Robert, May 29 '18 at 12:58

I found the solution. I added the button like this.

buttons: {            
        success: {
            label: "Display",
            className: "btn-primary",
            callback: function () {
                return false;
            }
        }

return false

in callback prevent the closing.

Thank you.
