You can use Set_Form_Property(xx,VALIDATION,PROPERTY_FALSE) when you want clear form,and after clear_form(NO_VALIDATE) you use Set_Form_Property(xx,VALIDATION,PROPERTY_TRUE).Buttons must have Mouse_Navigate & Navigable properties in False, because when you press button by mouse validate-trigger not fire for current item (record).
