[SailfishDevel] Non full-screen SilicaWebView

[Raine Mäkeläinen]

Hi Artem,

First of all, thanks for the feedback regarding SilicaWebView. We try to
tackle them when going forward.

What comes to SilicaWebView we have an undocumented "header" property that
could be used in your case. As it is undocumented we cannot guarantee that
it stays like it is now.

"property Component header"

Page {
    SilicaWebView {
        anchors.fill: parent
        url: "http://en.m.wikipedia.org"
        header: SearchField {
            width: parent.width
            placeholderText: "Search"
            EnterKey.onClicked: {
                // Do search
            }
        }

        PullDownMenu {
            MenuItem {
                text: "2nd"
            }

            MenuItem {
                text: "1st"
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps,
-Raine
