Dialogs

KitDialogBody

Vertical slot for a dialog’s main content.

Add messages, fields or content as children and compose it between header and footer. Register interactive controls with the modal focus registry.

It provides a 48 px minimum height and 12 px spacing. It adds no implicit scrolling; allocate a viewport if content can overflow.

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.
