KitCard

Card surface for grouping a unit of content.

Card surface for grouping a unit of content.
Native screenshot of the same example, rendered with Skia.

Compose KitCardHeader, KitCardBody and KitCardFooter as children. Set inset and gap with LayoutSpace instead of adding a second padding layer.

The card owns a border, background and content-measured height. It does not capture clicks or implicitly become an action.

Complete example

This complete Slint file is a visual composition used to produce the screenshot above. Internal strings without a label property retain the kit’s default language; system dialogs follow the host platform. Projected state and callbacks requesting a decision need host wiring; the standalone fixture does not supply that controller. Set up the Rust project, then see the typed controller application for working editing, validation and selection.
