Why am I having trouble transferring a folder path from a matlab app to script?

Here is my app code, I used a button to import the folder path.

% Button pushed function: ImportButton

function ImportButtonPushed(app, event)

%[filename,path] =uigetfile();

%app.FilenameEditField.Value=filename;

%figure(app.UIFigure);

folder= uigetdir()

app.FilenameEditField.Value = path;

figure(app.UIFigure);

end

Here is the code I used to run my app in my script and get the variable containing the folder path

appHand = uiginterface;

myData = appHand.UITable.folder

When I run this code the app opens, however the my Data executes before folder has been obtained and gives me an empty value.

In order to wait for a statement to complete its execution before moving ahead in your app, I would recommend using “waitfor” in MATLAB, please follow the documentation mentioned below for more details: watifor documentation

If this doesn’t resolve the issue, please help me with the following information:

• “.m” script that I can use to reproduce this issue, as in the attached code, the “app” is not defined and there is no call to the “importButtonPushed”.

I hope the above information helps you.
