Problem with selecting location in appdesigner

Hi
I am developing an app with appdesigner. one part of it, I have a button that when user clicks on it, a window opens to select a location from his/her PC to save files. This is the code I have written for it:
app.callingapp.path = uigetdir;
The problem is whenever I push this button, after I choose location and push OK, instead of closing the dialog window and go back to the main app window, it jumps into another window which is open in my desktop. For example if there is a Word file or PDF file open, it jumps into that.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

Hello Mahdi,
I understood that you want to keep your app window in front after using uigetdir.
To resolve this issue, You can refer the below MATLAB answer.
Feel free to put any comments if you face any issue.

I am able to replicate this issue and tried looking for ways to make it work. As a simple workaround, you can change the focus to the main app window after uigetdir finishes.
app.callingapp.path = uigetdir;
figure(app.UIFigure); % Change focus to your application
