Using Sharepoint Modal

Question

we are implementing a feature in sharepoint where the user can share documents, we are reworking our own UI to make it easier for the end user. We have a modal popup where you can select multiple users, once you click okay, they will receive a email and the permissions to edit the shared document.

In the user selection, we want to use a Modal, i know sharepoint already has a Modal where you can select multiple users, i was wondering if there where any ways we could use that one and change the OnOkButtonClick event to redirect to our custom functions to give the users permissions etc...

Thanks :D

There is this SP.UI.ModalDialog class (MSDN doku). With dialogOptions you can specify, how will your page behave after the user closes the dialog.

function OpenMasterdataDialog(strPageURL) {
    var dialogOptions = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
    dialogOptions.url = yourPageWithDialogContent;
    dialogOptions.width = 750;
    dialogOptions.height = 950;
    dialogOptions.dialogReturnValueCallback = closedCallback; // Function to capture dialog closed event
    SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(dialogOptions);
    return false;
}

function closedCallback(dialogResult) {
   //your method to redirect to new page
}
