How do I change focus to a given uieditfield (in gui created with uifigure)

I want to change focus to an uieditfield after pushing a button (in gui created with uifigure) to enter some data. - How do I do it?

In gui created with figure it can be done with the simple statement:

uicontrol(EdPtr);

assuming EdPtr is the handle of the uicontrol with the "edit field".

The equivalent statement is not posible for gui made with uifigure!

Thank you for pointing me to Adam Danz's suggestion. It works fine in smaller applications. However, it is not convenient having the buttons in between edit fields in the tab order, so I will return to a figure based interface until my next update.
