 To implement exactly the same behaviour I see only one possibility:
override the (virtual) wxDialog::EndModal() in MvcController like this:

        virtual void MvcController::EndModal(int retCode)
        {
                wxDialog::EndModal(retCode);

                if ( retCode == wxID_OK )
                        ... display results ...
        }

Also, if MvcController is always used as it's custom for a normal modal
dialog, i.e. as a local variable inside some function, we could forget
about overriding anything (except Validate() or TransferDataFromWindow(),
of course) and simply do the "display results" in MvcController dtor. But I
don't know if this is appropriate.

 I didn't make a patch because I don't know which of the above alternatives
do you prefer or even if you consider them both unacceptable for some
reason. But please let me know what do you think and I'll make one a.s.a.p.
