Filtering selected folder

I have set the Browse option of a path control to folder. In the folder selection dialog box I don't want to list a folder if it contains a file with specific name, say expt.xml. Is there a way to do this?

It can't be done with any of the built-in dialog boxes.  You would have to code your own dialog box.

... which, as I recall, isn't all that difficult (I vaguely remember doing this for myself about 5 years ago ...).  And, if you "roll your own", you can arrange the choices however you wish.

In the properties of the path control you have Broswe options. Set a pattern to e.g. *.txt. Avoiding single files is hard.
