How to put an app in foreground from background

Hi everyone,

until MatLab 2019a I used to put this code into the script of AppDesigner to put from background to foreground an app, but unfortunately in 2020a it doesn't work anymore...

% Toggles figure visible.  These two lines of code work-around an issue whether the figure is sent to the background.
app.MainApp.Visible = 'off';
app.MainApp.Visible = 'on';

Has someone found a solution to do the same in 2020a version?

Thanks a lot!

You could use :

...
filename = uigetfile(...);
app.UIFigure.Visible = 'on';
..

Hope this helps!
