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. This does not avoid the user entering a totally different filename in the filename edit. How can I avoid this ? Can I disable the filename edit ? Or is there another solution ?

Handle the OnCanClose event. In it, look at the dialog's current FileName or Files properties.
