Form structure

KitInputGroupText

Secondary text aligned with input content.

Set text to show a unit, prefix or suffix in KitInputGroupStart or KitInputGroupEnd. Keep the editable value in the native editor.

It uses control typography and centers vertically. It keeps a natural width without becoming an independent field.

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.
