File download control - delete file without validation? - file-upload

Question

Hello XPages programmers.
I work on a simple XPages File Library.
To achieve that i use FileUpload control with FileDownload control.
When i create a new file, i enter its name, and select a file.
I set that uploading a file won't activate a validation, so i can attach a file without a specified name. Additionally i set it to do fullrefresh, so uploading a file takes place in an instant and a file is visible in FileDownload control.
Problem occurs, when i want to delete that attachment using garbage icon of FileDownload - i can't set it to run without walidation.
Is there any workaround avaiable?
Any help will be appreciated.

I used the workaround Mark Leusink suggested - created a simmilar button (used image from filedownload control) and then set it for full refresh with process data without validation property.
Code in JSSS
function deleteAttachments()
{
var attList = dDocument.getAttachmentList("Document_Attachment");
for(var i=0; i<attList.size(); i++)
{
var att:String = attList[i];
dDocument.removeAttachment("Document_Attachment", att.getName() );
}
}
Surely it can be used for delete a specific attachment by getting attachment name from rowdata in a repeater and use DATASOURCE.removeAttachment method.
Thanks for your support!
