Convert jQuery Colorbox to act as a user dialog?

Question

Is there a nice and easy way to have a Colorbox act as a dialog window? I understand there are enough events which can be addressed but I'm unable to construct this in a nifty way... Or are there existing ways to replace the close button with ok/cancel or yes/no or other buttons..?

Edit: I need to be able to pass somesort of return function (similar to an event) and execute that based on a button click in the dialog (box). Functionality similar to jQuery UI Dialog "buttons"

JS

    $(function() {
        $(".example").colorbox({
            onOpen : function() {
                $('#cboxClose').html('<div id="cboxClose"><a class="btn" href="#yes">yes</a><a class="btn" href="#no">no</a></div>').children().unwrap('<div>');
            }
        });

        $(document).on("click", "a.btn", function(e) {
            if (this.hash == '#yes')
                alert('yes');
            else
                alert('no');

            return false;
        });
    });

CSS colorbox reset

#cboxClose {
    background: transparent;
    width: auto;
    height: auto;
    text-indent: 0;
}

UPDATED ( to work with latest jQuery 1.9.1 and colorbox 1.4.4 )
