KitTimeline

Vertical timeline of headings, descriptions and metadata.

Supply TimelineEntry values in the desired order. Format dates or other metadata in the controller before projecting them.

Each entry is connected by a visual marker and rule. The view neither sorts events nor virtualizes the collection.

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.
