I am designing an app and I am currently using the follow line of code to get the user to select a file from their device, however once the file is selected by the user, the matlab main window if brought to the forefront of the screen and I wouldnt like that:

[file, path] = uigetfile('*.stl', 'Select STL File'); % Open the file dialog

The code you posted should not cause the main Matlab window to steal focus.

Is this only happening in the context of AppDesigner?

Yes, once the file is selected the main MATLAB window will come up and the app is behind the main MATLAB window

Hi Ahmed, I understand that your MATLAB App Designer application loses focus after the function 'uigetfile' returns.

This seems to be a known issue with App Designer. I recommend the following workaround suggested by Onur Ozdemir to prevent 'uigetfile' from sending the MATLAB App Designer window to background

f = figure('Renderer', 'painters', 'Position', [-100 -100 0 0]); %create a dummy figure so that uigetfile doesn't minimize our GUI
[filename,path] = uigetfile('*.txt', 'Open text file','MultiSelect','on');
delete(f); %delete the dummy figure

To learn more about the workaround, you may refer to the webpage below:

I hope this helps!

Be careful with these magic numbers. A figure window of 0x0 units might trigger warnings. The position 100 units below and left of the lower left corner of the monitor might also be an issue in edge cases: this is in reference to the main monitor. In a multi-monitor setup this could cause problems. Apart from the fact that some OSes don't like it if you try to put a window outside of the visibile area.

But these should all be edge cases.
