WXWINDOW: CANCEL -button and validation

[Pekka Niiranen]

Hi,

In code below:

-  when user enters empty values and presses OK -button, validator
    warns about the empty values.

-  when user enters empty values and presses CANCEL -button, validator
    is not run and I must add "useless checks for empty values" in code
+ default values

- I can kill the wxDialog with empty values on boxes.

Questions:

1) How can I run Validate(self, parent) -method when CANCEL -button is
pressed ?
2) How can disable the close button (X -button on top right corner of
window) from wxDialog ?
