I have following custom code for confirmation dialog as:

$.extend({
    confirm: function (title, message, yesText, yesCallback) {
        $("<div></div>").dialog({
            buttons: [{
                text: yesText,
                click: function () {
                    yesCallback();
                    $(this).remove();
                }
            },
            {
                text: "Cancel",
                click: function () {
                    $(this).remove();
                }
            }
            ],
            close: function (event, ui) { $(this).remove(); },
            resizable: false,
            title: title,
            modal: true
        }).text(message).parent().addClass("alert");
    }
});

I'm trying to use it to delete a record/post as:

function DeletePost(txt, id) {
    $.confirm(
        "Confirmation!", //title
        "Are you sure want to delete this post?", //message
        "Ok", //button text
        DeletePostConfirm(id), //"yes" callback
    );
}

function DeletePostConfirm(id) {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/post/delete",
        dataType: "json",
        data: { postId: id },
        success: Delete_success
    });
}

But it's erroring showing no such function. It's working fine without id argument as:

function DeletePost(id) {
    $.confirm(
        "Confirmation!", //title
        "Are you sure want to delete this post?", //message
        "Ok", //button text
        DeletePostConfirm, //"yes" callback
    );
}

But as per requirement DeletePost method requires id to be passed so that post can be deleted from backend. How to arguments in callback function?

Use either .call and .apply if you want to send a comma separated list of arguments or send in an array respectively.

I think, in your case, we can create an object of two prop and .call can be used as following:

$.extend({
    confirm: function (title, message, yesText, yesCallback, argObj) {
        $("<div></div>").dialog({
            buttons: [{
                text: yesText,
                click: function () {
                    yesCallback.call(this, argObj);
                    $(this).remove();
                }
            },
            {
                text: "Cancel",
                click: function () {
                    $(this).remove();
                }
            }
            ],
            close: function (event, ui) { $(this).remove(); },
            resizable: false,
            title: title,
            modal: true
        }).text(message).parent().addClass("alert");
    }
});

And use it as:

function DeletePost(txt, id) {
   var argObj = {
        "txt": txt,
        "id": id
    };
    $.confirm(
        "Confirmation!", //title
        "Are you sure want to delete this post?", //message
        "Ok", //button text
        DeletePostConfirm, //"yes" callback
        argObj
    );
}

function DeletePostConfirm(argObj) {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/post/delete",
        dataType: "json",
        data: { postId: argObj.id },
        success: Delete_success
    });
}
