Layout

KitGrid

Grid using Slint’s public placement rules directly.

Declare Row, columns and cell spans at the use site. Set gap and inset to use kit spacing.

It inherits GridLayout and keeps a natural height. It does not automatically redistribute opaque children into columns.

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.
