Window {

    id: window1


    width: 400

    height: 400

    minimumWidth: 400

    minimumHeight: 400

    title: "child window"

    MouseArea {

        anchors.fill: parent

        acceptedButtons: Qt.RightButton

        onPressed: contextMenu.show()

    }

    Menu {

        id: contextMenu

        enabled: true

        title: "blabla"

        MenuItem {

            text: "Copy"

            shortcut: "Ctrl+C"

            onTriggered: copy()

        }

        MenuItem {

            text: "Paste"

            shortcut: "Ctrl+V"

            onTriggered: paste()

        }


   }
