I use a common form to bind data objects to. I also perform validation on this form. If I validate the form through a submit and it fails (validate() returns false), I close the window and then rebind with the same or a different object (from a grid or some datasource). When the window comes back up, the validator messages are still there from the last failed submit. I need a way to clear them. I could call validate on the rebind, but I want to clear them, not reevaluate them (as there could be some that come up...especially when adding a new item with no data in it).
