If the control is on a dialog then the Validate method is called 
automatically when the Ok button is pressed.  If any of the validators 
on the dialog return false from their Validate method then the Ok button 
will not succeed and the dialog will not be dismissed.  If you are not 
using a dialog then to be able to use the validators' Validate method 
you need to call the parent window's Validate method at some point and 
check the return value yourself.

Please see the demo and the book for more details and examples.
