When using SHBrowseForFolder Function with a callback function - I have the 
BROWSEINFO Structure flags BIF_VALIDATE and BIF_EDITBOX set.

Now when an invalid folder is entered by the user in the EDIT box and the 
call back function uMsg BFFM_VALIDATEFAILED is enacted - Is it possible 
after the error message is closed to highlight the incorrect folder name in 
the EDIT box in the Browse for Folder dialog? or perhaps remove it and 
refocus onto a folder in the dialog's folder tree?

thanks

Not directly.  You would have to manually find the HWND of the edit field 
and then pass it to SetFocus().

Send a BFFM_SETSELECTION message to the HWND provided by the callback, 
specifying a valid path.

How could  I go about manually find the HWND of the edit field?

I tried this:
  HWND hwndEdit = FindWindowEx(hwnd, NULL, "Edit", NULL); // hwnd is the 
handle to the dialog.
  SendMessage(hwndEdit, WM_SETTEXT, 0, (long)"");
This seems to work, does it look OK?

I would like to know how to highlight the text in the EDIT box, instead of 
deleting it - can you assist?

 thanks

See EM_SETSEL.
