whether the event box uses a visible or invisible child window according to
the value specified by <i class="parameter"><tt>visible_window</tt></i>. If
<i class="parameter"><tt>visible_window</tt></i> is <tt class="literal">TRUE</tt> the event
box uses a visible child window; otherwise, an invisible child window. The
default is to use visible windows.</p><p>In an invisible window event box, the window that that the event
box creates is a <tt class="literal">gtk.gdk.INPUT_ONLY</tt> window, that is
invisible and only serves to receive events. A visible window event box
creates a visible (<tt class="literal">gtk.gdk.INPUT_OUTPUT</tt>) window that acts
as the parent window for all the widgets contained in the event box.</p><p>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.</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>There is one unexpected issue for an invisible event box that
has its window below the child. (See the <a href="class-gtkeventbox.html#method-gtkeventbox--set-above-child" title="gtk.EventBox.set_above_child"><tt class="methodname">set_above_child()</tt></a>
method.) Since the input-only window is not an ancestor window of any
windows that descendant widgets of the event box create, events on these
windows aren't propagated up by the windowing system, but only by GTK+. The
practical effect of this is if an event isn't in the event mask for the
descendant window (see the <a href="class-gtkwidget.html#method-gtkwidget--add-events" title="gtk.Widget.add_events"><tt class="methodname">gtk.Widget.add_events()</tt></a>
method), it won't be received by the event box.</p><p> This problem doesn't occur for visible event boxes, because
the event box window is actually the ancestor of the descendant windows, not
just at the same place on the screen.</p></div></div><div class="refsect2" lang="en"><a name="method-gtkeventbox--get-above-child"></a><h3>gtk.EventBox.get_above_child</h3><table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%"><tr><td><pre class="programlisting"><code class="methodsynopsis"> def <span class="methodname">get_above_child</span>(<span class="methodparam"></span>)</code></pre></td></tr></table><table border="0" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFECCE"><col align="left" valign="top" width="0*"><tbody><tr><td><span class="term"><span class="emphasis"><em>Returns</em></span>:</span></td><td><tt class="literal">TRUE</tt> if the event box window is
