Layout

KitInline

Single row for adjacent controls and content.

Single row for adjacent controls and content.
Native screenshot of the same example, rendered with Skia.

Choose gap, inset and the inherited HorizontalLayout alignment. Set horizontal stretch on children that should consume extra space.

The row keeps a natural height and does not wrap. Use KitWrap when children should reflow onto multiple lines.

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.
