I have created a universal dialog popup function which will asked the users for confirmation before executing save or delete functionality.But the on clicking the save button the page it not wait for the popups reply.Here is my code.

What I have tried:

My function (returns true or false ):-

Java

function DiaglogNormal(_title, _message) {
    debugger;
    
    BootstrapDialog.confirm({
        title: _title,
        message: _message,
        type: BootstrapDialog.TYPE_PRIMARY,
        closable: true, 
        draggable: true,
        btnCancelLabel: 'Cancel', 
        btnOKLabel: 'Yes',
        btnOKClass: 'btn btn-success',
        btnCancelClass: 'btn btn-warning',
        callback: function (result) {
            // result will be true if button was click, while it will be false if users close the dialog directly.
            if (result) {
                //alert('Yup.');
                return true;
            } else {
                //alert('Nope.');
                return false;
            }
        }
    })
    }

Control where it is called :

HTML

<input type="submit" name="button" formnovalidate value="@WFCommon.BTN_Save"  id="btnSave" class="btn btn-primary" />

Function when the button is clicked:

JavaScript

$("#btnSave").click(function () {
            debugger;           
            
            if (DiaglogNormal('Confirmation', 'Continue To Save ??...'))
                {
                    RemoveInputReviewerRules("#WorkflowDraft", 'input[alt="txtApprovers[]"]');
                }
                else
                {
                    return false;
                }
            
        });

Please help on how to make the click event function to wait for the calling function result.

Try returning false from the click outside else.

Unfortunately, BootstrapDialog.confirm() is asynchronous, so it does not wait. You form will go ahead with the submission upon clicking of the submit button. To get around this, you have to first prevent this default behavior of the submit button from happening by adding:

$("#btnSave").click(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        // omitted

This will stop the form from submitting and allow the confirm dialog to show.
Next, you will add code to submit the form when the return from callback is true, do this:

callback: function(result) {
    if(result) {
	// whatever code you want to run 
	// to submit the form
	$("#idOfForm").submit();
     }
}

Putting together the whole picture:

$("#btnSave").click(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
		
        BootstrapDialog.confirm({
            // omitted
            callback: function(result) {
                if(result) {
		     // whatever code you want to run on callback
		     // to submit the form
                     $("#idOfForm").submit();
                }
            }
        });

})
