uigetfile called in app designer open the file dialog screen behind the calling .mlapp

The following code placed in app designer with MATLAB 2022a opens the file dialog screen behind the calling .mlapp. The calling .mlapp simply has a button on the screen that calls the following code.

function ButtonPushed(app, event)

[f,p] = uigetfile();

end

There are several posts about the calling app losing focus AFTER uigetfile is called. This is a different problem. Is there a way to open the file diaglog screen in front of the calling app?

Same question.

[Mario Malic]

there is a an answer somewhere on this forum from Friedrich IIRC, just do

drawnow;
figure(UIFigure);

after uigetfile and it should be fine.

@Smith Smith, you might try using uiopen in lieu of uigetfile. Otherwise, I would suggest reinstalling MATLAB.
