## Detailed Description

A ContextMenuRequest is passed as an argument of the WebEngineView::contextMenuRequested signal. It provides further information about the context of the request. The position of the request origin can be found via the x and y properties.

The accepted property of the request indicates whether the request is handled by the user code or the default context menu should be displayed.

The following code uses a custom menu to handle the request:

      WebEngineView {
          id: view
          // ...
          onContextMenuRequested: function(request) {
              request.accepted = true;
              myMenu.x = request.x;
              myMenu.y = request.y;
              myMenu.trigger.connect(view.triggerWebAction);
              myMenu.popup();
          }
          // ...
      }

## Property Documentation

accepted : bool

Indicates whether the context menu request has been handled by the signal handler.

If the property is `false` after any signal handlers for WebEngineView::contextMenuRequested have been executed, a default context menu will be shown. To prevent this, set `request.accepted` to `true`.

The default is `false`.

Note: The default content of the context menu depends on the web element for which the request was actually generated.

[read-only] isContentEditable : bool

Indicates whether the selected web content is editable.

[read-only] linkText : string

The text of the link if the context menu was requested for a link.

[read-only] linkUrl : url

The URL of the link if the selected web page content is a link.

[read-only] mediaType : enumeration

The type of the media element or `MediaTypeNone` if the selected web page content is not a media element.
