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 ?

This is what ofFileMustExist in the dialog options does for you.

That only means the file must exist. It doesn't say the file must match a certain pattern. You're always free to type the name of whatever file you want.
