badge

badge: BadgeValue | None = None

A badge to show on top of this control.

bottom

bottom: Number | None = None

The distance that the child's bottom edge is inset from the bottom of the stack.

Note

Effective only if this control is a descendant of one of the following: Stack control, Page.overlay list.

col

col: ResponsiveNumber = 12

If a parent of this control is a ResponsiveRow, this property is used to determine how many virtual columns of a screen this control will span.

Can be a number or a dictionary configured to have a different value for specific breakpoints, for example col={"sm": 6}.

This control spans the 12 virtual columns by default.

Dimensions

Breakpoint	Dimension
xs	<576px
sm	≥576px
md	≥768px
lg	≥992px
xl	≥1200px
xxl	≥1400px

controls

A list of Controls to display.

data

data: Any = skip_field()

Arbitrary data of any type.

disabled

disabled: bool = False

Every control has disabled property which is False by default - control and all its children are enabled.

Note

The value of this property will be propagated down to all children controls recursively.

Example

For example, if you have a form with multiple entry controls you can disable them all together by disabling container:

ft.Column(
    disabled = True,
    controls=[
        ft.TextField(),
        ft.TextField()
    ]
)

expand

expand: bool | int | None = None

Specifies whether/how this control should expand to fill available space in its parent layout.

More information here.

Note

Has effect only if the direct parent of this control is one of the following controls, or their subclasses: Column, Row, View, Page.

expand_loose

expand_loose: bool = False

Allows the control to expand along the main axis if space is available, but does not require it to fill all available space.

More information here.

Note

If expand_loose is True, it will have effect only if:

• expand is not None and
• the direct parent of this control is one of the following controls, or their subclasses: Column, Row, View, Page.

height

height: Number | None = None

Imposed Control height in virtual pixels.

key

key: (
    str | int | float | bool | ValueKey | ScrollKey | None
) = None

left

left: Number | None = None

The distance that the child's left edge is inset from the left of the stack.

Note

Effective only if this control is a descendant of one of the following: Stack control, Page.overlay list.

offset

offset: OffsetValue | None = None

Applies a translation transformation before painting the control.

The translation is expressed as an Offset scaled to the control's size. So, Offset(x=0.25, y=0), for example, will result in a horizontal translation of one quarter the width of this control.

Example

The following example displays container at 0, 0 top left corner of a stack as transform applies -1 * 100, -1 * 100 (offset * control's size) horizontal and vertical translations to the control:

import flet as ft

def main(page: ft.Page):
    page.add(
        ft.Stack(
            width=1000,
            height=1000,
            controls=[
                ft.Container(
                    bgcolor="red",
                    width=100,
                    height=100,
                    left=100,
                    top=100,
                    offset=ft.Offset(-1, -1),
                )

    )

ft.run(main)

on_animation_end

on_animation_end: (
    ControlEventHandler[ConstrainedControl] | None
) = None

Called when animation completes.

Can be used to chain multiple animations.

The data property of the event handler argument contains the name of the animation.

More information here.

on_scroll

on_scroll: EventHandler[OnScrollEvent] | None = None

Called when scroll position is changed by a user. class.

opacity

opacity: Number = 1.0

Defines the transparency of the control.

Value ranges from 0.0 (completely transparent) to 1.0 (completely opaque without any transparency).

page

page: Page | PageView | None

The page (of type Page or PageView) to which this control belongs to.

parent

parent: BaseControl | None

The direct ancestor(parent) of this control.

It defaults to None and will only have a value when this control is mounted (added to the page tree).

The Page control (which is the root of the tree) is an exception - it always has parent=None.

right

right: Number | None = None

The distance that the child's right edge is inset from the right of the stack.

Note

Effective only if this control is a descendant of one of the following: Stack control, Page.overlay list.

rotate

rotate: RotateValue | None = None

Transforms this control using a rotation around its center.

The value of rotate property could be one of the following types:

• number - a rotation in clockwise radians. Full circle 360° is math.pi * 2 radians, 90° is pi / 2, 45° is pi / 4, etc.
• Rotate - allows to specify rotation angle as well as alignment - the location of rotation center.

Example

For example:

ft.Image(
    src="https://picsum.photos/100/100",
    width=100,
    height=100,
    border_radius=5,
    rotate=Rotate(angle=0.25 * pi, alignment=ft.Alignment.CENTER_LEFT)
)

rtl

rtl: bool = False

Whether the text direction of the control should be right-to-left (RTL).

run_alignment

run_alignment: MainAxisAlignment = START

How the runs should be placed in the cross-axis when wrap=True.

run_spacing

run_spacing: Number = 10

Spacing between runs when wrap=True.

scale

scale: ScaleValue | None = None

Scales this control along the 2D plane. Default scale factor is 1.0, meaning no-scale.

Setting this property to 0.5, for example, makes this control twice smaller, while 2.0 makes it twice larger.

Different scale multipliers can be specified for x and y axis, by setting Control.scale property to an instance of Scale class. Either scale or scale_x and scale_y could be specified, but not all of them.

Example

ft.Image(
    src="https://picsum.photos/100/100",
    width=100,
    height=100,
    border_radius=5,
    scale=ft.Scale(scale_x=2, scale_y=0.5)

Defaults to ScrollMode.None.

scroll_interval

scroll_interval: Number = 10

Throttling in milliseconds for on_scroll event.

spacing

spacing: Number = 10

The spacing between the child controls.

Note

Has effect only when alignment is set to MainAxisAlignment.START, MainAxisAlignment.END, or MainAxisAlignment.CENTER.

tight

tight: bool = False

Specifies how much space should be occupied horizontally.

Defaults to False, meaning all space is allocated to children.

tooltip

tooltip: TooltipValue | None = None

The tooltip ot show when this control is hovered over.

top

top: Number | None = None

The distance that the child's top edge is inset from the top of the stack.

vertical_alignment

vertical_alignment: CrossAxisAlignment = CENTER

Defines how the child controls should be placed vertically.

visible

visible: bool = True

Every control has visible property which is True by default - control is rendered on the page. Setting visible to False completely prevents control (and all its children if any) from rendering on a page canvas. Hidden controls cannot be focused or selected with a keyboard or mouse and they do not emit any events.

width

width: Number | None = None

Imposed Control width in virtual pixels.

wrap

wrap: bool = False

When set to True the Row will put child controls into additional rows (runs) if they don't fit a single row.

before_event

scroll_to

scroll_to(
    offset: Number | None = None,
    delta: Number | None = None,
    scroll_key: str
    | int
    | float
    | bool
    | ScrollKey
    | None = None,
    duration: DurationValue | None = None,
    curve: AnimationCurve | None = None,
)

Moves scroll position to either absolute offset, relative delta or jump to the control with specified key.

offset is an absolute value between minimum and maximum extents of a scrollable control, for example:

products.scroll_to(offset=100, duration=1000)

offset could be a negative to scroll from the end of a scrollable. For example, to scroll to the very end:

products.scroll_to(offset=-1, duration=1000)

delta allows moving scroll relatively to the current position. Use positive delta to scroll forward and negative delta to scroll backward. For example, to move scroll on 50 pixels forward:

products.scroll_to(delta=50)

key allows moving scroll position to a control with specified key. Most of Flet controls have key property which is translated to Flutter as "global key". key must be unique for the entire page/view. For example:

import flet as ft

def main(page: ft.Page):
    cl = ft.Column(
        spacing=10,
        height=200,
        width=200,
        scroll=ft.ScrollMode.ALWAYS,
    )
    for i in range(0, 50):
        cl.controls.append(ft.Text(f"Text line {i}", key=str(i)))

    def scroll_to_key(e):
        cl.scroll_to(key="20", duration=1000)

    page.add(
        ft.Container(cl, border=ft.border.all(1)),
        ft.ElevatedButton("Scroll to key '20'", on_click=scroll_to_key),

    offset: float | None = None,
    delta: float | None = None,
    scroll_key: str
    | int
    | float
    | bool
    | ScrollKey
    | None = None,
