How to pass data from Dialog App to Calling App before closing Dialog App?

I have an app that opens a Dialog app when pushing a button. In the Dialog app I want to insert some data, that then gets passed on to the main app before closing the Dialog app. How can I do that?

Below my code with the missing lines where I would like to pass the data from the Dialog App to the main app:

properties (Access = private)

CallingApp % Description

end

% Callbacks that handle component events

methods (Access = private)

% Code that executes after component creation

function startupFcn(app, mainapp, dby, compass)

app.CallingApp=mainapp;

end

% Button pushed function: OKButton

function OKButtonPushed(app, event)

% pass on data from this app to CallingApp

????

% delete dialog window

delete(app)

end

% Value changed function: speedupdownsampledatabySpinner

function speedupdownsampledatabySpinnerValueChanged(app, event)

dby = app.speedupdownsampledatabySpinner.Value;

end

% Value changed function: toolorientationSpinner

function toolorientationSpinnerValueChanged(app, event)

compass = app.toolorientationSpinner.Value;

end

end

Thank you!

So you have a Dialog app and a calling app, imagine in your calling app you have a property called speed,

in your calling app you access it with app.speed, but if you want to change it from your Dialog app you have to write

app.CallingApp.speed='something'
