FileSelectFolder only if valid directory

[faire]

Is it possible to only allow the selection of a direrectory [through FileSelectFolder] if a certain file is present (so the "Open" button stays grayed out until a valid directory has been selected; that being a directory where said file is present)?

I'm now checking if the directory is valid in another function. Still it would be interesting to know if anyone has an answer to this question. It'd be a nice feature in my opinion.

You would have to recreate the gui yourself as i believe that function pauses the wholes script stopping you from disabling the button or re-enabling it this is the only solution i see other than have two scripts do it one runs that function the other watches and disables then enables the button.

You can check a selected folder validation after choosing, e.g.:

Do
    $SelectFolder = FileSelectFolder("Choose a folder...", "", 0, @DesktopDir)
Until StringInStr($SelectFolder, @DesktopDir) > 0

MsgBox(0, "", $SelectFolder)

You can use similar clever approach as siao in his nice example for File Open/Save Dialogs customization
