MATLAB: My modal dialog box does not prevent interactions with a MATLAB app (made by App Designer) window

app designerMATLABmodal dialog

I have a custom app designed in App Designer, which is composed of one input box (accepting data) and a confirm button. Pushing the confirm button will execute a callback function, which will check whether the box is empty first:
function ConfirmButtonPushed(app, event)
    if isempty(app.Databox.Value)
        errordlg('No data supplied.', 'Input Error', 'modal');
        return;
    else
        % Some actions to process the data
    end
end
If the box is empty, the user is supposed to acknowledge the error message before going back to interact with the app again. However, the modal error dialog does not prevent interactions with the app window (It does prevent interactions with the main MATLAB command line window). Any clue?

CreLox - try using uialert instead. This may work assuming that your app has been created with the uifigure function.
