The following members of QML type WebView are obsolete. They are provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using them in new code.

alertDialog : component

The QML component that will be instantiated to display a JavaScript alert dialog.

confirmDialog : component

context : WebContext

The web context associated to this WebView. By default a shared context is used which should fit most use cases, do not override unless you really need a finer control over the context.


contextModel : QtObject

An object that holds the contextual data associated with the current context menu, as well as methods to interact with this data. User-defined contextual actions can use this data to process it when triggered.

It has the following properties:

It has the following methods:

When there is no active context menu, contextModel is null.

See also contextualActions.


contextualActions : ActionList

A list of actions that the user will be presented with when invoking a context menu (by way of a right click on desktop, or a long press on a touch-enabled device, on an image or a hyperlink). By default the list is empty, and no menu is shown. User-defined actions can access the context model.

Example of user-defined actions:

import Ubuntu.Components 1.3
import Morph.Web 0.2

WebView {
    contextualActions: ActionList {
        Action {
            text: i18n.tr("Open link in browser")
            enabled: contextModel && contextModel.linkUrl.toString()
            onTriggered: Qt.openUrlExternally(contextModel.linkUrl)
        }
    }
}

See also contextModel.
