I found:
http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.4.2/wx474.htm#validatoroverview

which includes a link to wxTextValidator

Filtering behaviours (wxFILTER_ALPHA, ..._NUMERIC, ..._INCLUDE_LIST) 
are supported but I can't see support for pattern matching (e.g. A9A 
9A9), or formula-based validation like modulus[ ] which British 
Columbia health numbers need to satisfy.

Would a solution require C++ (control) variables to be written and 
pointed to?
