Slint Kit Documentation

Times and zones

KitTimeField

Native field for a local time without creating an instant.

Native field for a local time without creating an instant.
Native screenshot of the same example, rendered with Skia.

Bind text and project accepted-time: LocalTimeView. Choose ClockFormat.twenty-four-hour or .twelve-hour and TimePrecision.minute or .second.

The format hint and help follow those policies, while parsing stays in the controller. Presentation properties resolve no time zone.

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.
