As far as I can remember wxWidgets itself shows an error message through
wxLogError if the write operation fails. Maybe not the ideal solution.

You should verify that the file of which you path the name to method
SaveAsFile is indeed writable, before calling SaveAsFile.
In my own applications I sometimes let method SaveAsFile write to a
temporary file and rename the file thereafter. If renaming fails I issue
an appropriate error message and let the user choose what to do - either
retry (if the file was locked by another application) or choose a new
file name.
