Layout

KitWrap

Layout that reflows children onto multiple lines.

Layout that reflows children onto multiple lines.
Native screenshot of the same example, rendered with Skia.

Add badges, buttons or other ordinary children and set gap and inset. Let the parent provide the wrapping width.

It uses FlexboxLayout with flex-wrap: wrap. Child instances remain in place during resizing, preserving focus and editor state.

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.
