I want my user to choose a file in a folder among those staring with some characters in their name. I do this using the filter property.

If you want to continue using that control, I would suggest you
simply test the file name on return and force another Dialog
pop up until they cancel it or get it correct.
Other wise, you'll need to subclass that control and monitor
the windows messages going to that edit box.. Much like adding
a OnKeyDoww,Up etc to the control.

Unless I'm over looking something.
