27 Apr 20248 minutes to read

You can prevent closing of modal dialog by setting the beforeClose event argument cancel value to true.
In the following sample, the dialog is closed when you enter the username value with minimum 4 characters. Otherwise, it will not be closed.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { DialogModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-popups'




import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
import { DialogComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-popups';
import { EmitType } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

@Component({
imports: [
        
		DialogModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `
    <button class="e-control e-btn" style="position: absolute;" id="targetButton" (click)="onOpenDialog($event)">Open Dialog</button>
    <div #container class='root-container'>
      <ejs-dialog id='dialog' #ejDialog isModal='true' header='Sign in' (beforeClose)="validation($event)"[buttons]='buttons' [target]='targetElement' width='300px'>
        <ng-template #content>
