Validating a Form when not using OK-Button [message #1410654]

I am currently try to figure out how I could add the same form validation (in specific checking whether all mandatory fields are really filled in) that I get when hitting the OK-Button of a form in dialog mode. In my case I want to save the formData to use it later by clicking a normal button and doing my stuff in the execClick() method, but have to validate before that the exported formData really has all the mandatory fields set. The form could either be displayed in view or as a dialog. Is it possible to do so?

What I tried is to use the validateForm()-method however using this results in null-pointer exceptions. When debugging I end up somewhere in the AbstractOkButton.class even though I have not a single OKButton on the page. Eventually then the null pointer exception occurs.
