How can I check if a part is active and has the focus? [message #984182]

I would like to check if the part is active and has the focus or that a dialog above it has the focus.

This is what I have so far:

	@Inject
	protected MPart part;
	@Inject
	protected EPartService partService;

	public boolean isActiveAndHasFocus() {
		return part == partService.getActivePart();
	}

But I don't see any difference if there is a dialog above it (the part will still be active when a dialog shown above it.)

Is there a way to check if the part is active without any dialog above it?

What about getting the swt composite of the part MPart#getWidget() and seeing if it has SWT focus?

Check if the window is active. We might set some a tag on the window to indicate this but otherwise you can test the widget (a shell).
