Forcing GUI to wait for user to select a file

How can I pause execution and wait for uigetfile() to close? I don't see a figure handle being returned from uigetfile(), so I don't see how I can use uiwait() or waitfor() to pause execution.

TastyPastry - you shouldn't need to pause execution of your GUI since uigetfile returns (at the very least) the name of the file that you have selected/chosen

 filename = uigetfile

so execution will be "implicitly paused" when you call the above and "wait" for the user to select a file.
