Summary: Validation doesn't work with controls inside a notebook.

Initial Comment:
Controls inside a notebook, which is inside a dialog
box don't get validated when we call the dialog's
TransferDataFromWindow or TransferDataToWindow. Their
contents don't get updated/retrieved too.

I usually have to put in the dialog constructor the
following code:

SetExtraStyle(GetExtraStyle()|wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY);
NOTEBOOK->SetExtraStyle(NOTEBOOK->GetExtraStyle()|wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY);

I understand that by default grandchild controls don't
get validated, but it's common to have notebooks inside
a dialog, and we expect to have its controls validated.
Can this case be an exception? Is there bad
implications if we validated recursively by default?
