KitDatePicker

Civil-date field with a popup calendar.

Share draft text, the accepted date and the day model with the controller. Handle text callbacks and choose to accept a date atomically.

Opening open keeps the editor mounted and emits opened. Choosing a day closes the calendar; closing returns focus to the field without rewriting the draft.

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.
