How to set focus on a Native dialog while using SWTBOT?

Question

I open a file selection native dialog using SWTBot. But somehow it is never on focus. I understand that SWTBot doesn't support Native dialogs. I just want to do some keyboard actions on the dialog. Which is only possible if the focus in on the dialog.

If I manually click on the native dialog or the eclipse behind it, i'm able to get focus. Is there a way to programatically achieve this?

I tried these:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell().setActive();

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell().setFocus();

Also tried using ALT+TAB. Haven't been able to do this.

Yes SWTBot doesn't support native dialogs and for this you can use LDTP with its method to activate specific window and then it may work for you.
