FileOpenDialog restricted to one folder

[darkleton]

I have a script that prompts a user for a folder to use (fileselectfolder) and then uses that folder for the fileopendialog for them to select a file.

what i want though is for the fileopendialog box to be restricted JUST to that folder.

as it stands, fileselectfolder could have c:\test\ selected, and clicking the fileopendialog button will default to c:\test\ but allows them to move up a folder. i need it to restrict them to selecting a file only in the given folder. is that possible?

These are the two functions I have which work perfectly, I just need that restriction if it can be done?

Func LocalFolder()
    $localmsifolder = FileSelectFolder("","")
    GUICtrlSetData($localmsifolderinput, $localmsifolder & "\")
    $remotemsifolder = StringRegExpReplace($localmsifolder, "^.*\\", "")
EndFunc

Func LocalFile()
    $localmsifile = FileOpenDialog("", $localmsifolder, "MSI Files (*.msi)", 1 + 2)
    GUICtrlSetData($localmsifileinput, $localmsifile)
    $localmsifilename = StringRegExpReplace($localmsifile, "^.*\\", "")
EndFunc

Thanks in advance

I don't think so !

but you can add a condition after select the file

$_Dir = "c:\test\"

Do 
    $localmsifolder = FileOpenDialog ( "Choose the file", $_Dir, '(*.msi)' )
    ConsoleWrite ( "$localmsifolder : " & $localmsifolder & @Crlf )
Until   StringInStr ( $localmsifolder, $_Dir ) <> 0

how would i set the $_dir variable though as the folder selected is entirely up to the user. i couldn't give it a value.

By $_Dir = FileSelectFolder ( "", "" )
