That shouldn't be a problem; something like this would do it:

    wxFloatingPointValidator< float > valRotate( 1 );
    valRotate.SetRange( -180.0, 180.0 );

Then it's just a matter of (a) specifying a max. character length in the
input box, (b) using the constructor with the validator specified, and (c)
returning kicad's expected
integer value (degrees * 10) for rotations.
