module Graphics.UI.Gtk.Misc.EventBox (
-- * Detail
--
-- | The 'EventBox' widget is a subclass of 'Bin' which also has its own
-- window. It is useful since it allows you to catch events for widgets which
-- do not have their own window.

#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION(2,4,0)
-- | Set whether the event box uses a visible or invisible child window. The
-- default is to use visible windows.
--
-- In an invisible window event box, the window that that the event box
-- creates is a \"input only\" window, which means that it is invisible and only
-- serves to receive events.
--
-- A visible window event box creates a visible (\"input output\") window that
-- acts as the parent window for all the widgets contained in the event box.
--
-- You should generally make your event box invisible if you just want to
-- trap events. Creating a visible window may cause artifacts that are visible
-- to the user, especially if the user is using a theme with gradients or
-- pixmaps.
--
-- The main reason to create a non input-only event box is if you want to
-- set the background to a different color or draw on it.

  {# call unsafe event_box_get_visible_window #}
    self

-- | Set whether the event box window is positioned above the windows of its
-- child, as opposed to below it. If the window is above, all events inside the
-- event box will go to the event box. If the window is below, events in
-- windows of child widgets will first got to that widget, and then to its
-- parents.
--
-- The default is to keep the window below the child.
