Files

KitFileList

File list with names, details and removal by stable identity.

File list with names, details and removal by stable identity.
Native screenshot of the same example, rendered with Skia.

Supply FileViewEntry values and handle remove-requested(token, generation). Use removable and FieldAccess to reflect removal permissions.

Identity is captured when pressing begins, and changing an entry cancels the press. Actions are blocked in read-only mode or when an entry is not removable.

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.
