Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for manipulating objects in a framework software application that embeds another software application that does not natively support object manipulation controls of the framework software application. To overcome this difficulty, a user interface of the embedded software application is provided in an embedded window disposed within a framework window. Moreover, the user interface of the framework software application is provided in the framework window. Next, a transparent interface element, configured to detect events generated by the object manipulation controls of the framework software application, is generated, and is positioned over the embedded window. When the transparent interface element detects an object repositioning event related to repositioning an object visible from the framework window to the embedded window via the user interface of the framework software application, information related to the repositioned object is provided to the embedded software application.
