public class eventbox
{

	static void delete_event (object obj, DeleteEventArgs args)
	{
		Application.Quit();
	}

	static void exitbutton_event (object obj, ButtonPressEventArgs args)
	{
		Application.Quit();
	}

	public static void Main (string[] args)
	{
		Gtk.Window window;
		EventBox eventbox;
		Label label;

		Application.Init();

		window = new Gtk.Window ("Eventbox");
		window.DeleteEvent += new DeleteEventHandler (delete_event);

		window.BorderWidth = 10;

		eventbox = new EventBox ();
		window.Add (eventbox);
		eventbox.Show();

		label = new Label ("Click here to quit");
		eventbox.Add(label);
		label.Show();

		label.SetSizeRequest(110, 20);

		eventbox.ButtonPressEvent += new ButtonPressEventHandler (exitbutton_event);

		eventbox.Realize();
