Layout

KitScrollArea

Vertical scrolling area for a content column.

Allocate a finite viewport from the parent and add children in reading order. Use reveal(top, bottom) to show a region and scroll-to-start() to return to the beginning.

The column follows the visible width and grows vertically; horizontal scrolling is disabled. This container does not virtualize its children.

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.
