Techniques for simulation of multi top-level graphical-containers (e.g., frames) in an object-oriented computing environment are disclosed. A Multi Top-level Graphical-Container Simulator (MTGS) can be provided to simulate multi top-level graphical container support for applications that expect to use a plurality of top-level graphical containers (e.g., frames, windows). A MTGS may be implemented as a layer between a GUI-based application and an operating system and/or hardware/device with limited or virtually no graphical support capability. The Multi Top-level Graphical Simulator (MTGS) can effectively isolate the operating systems and/or hardware/device from the GUI-based application, and yet hide this simulation from the operating system and/or hardware/device. MTGS may be implemented in a platform independent programming language (e.g., Java&#x2122; programming language using a set of Java&#x2122; classes which have been provided in the Java&#x2122; Swing development toolkit.
