How to send a JFace Dialog to the background or minimize it?

I am working with a wizard dialog.

It should be possible for the user to click to background and be able to interact with it (in my case that's the eclipse editor since I am writing a Plug-In).

However, the background is always locked, not focusable. Is there a way to disable this property and access the background without closing the wizard dialog entirely? After having done some stuff in the editor it should be possible to return to the wizard and finish the task.

You can make the dialog 'modeless' so that it does not block the application (like the Find/Replace dialog in Eclipse).

Call

setShellStyle(getShellStyle() ^ SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL | SWT.MODELESS);

setBlockOnOpen(false);

in the constructor for the Dialog to do this.
