I'm not a fan of the language but QtQuick & QML is what I'd use for this type of widgets. OTOH I am starting two projects at work, one being a traditional desktop app and another being an HMI with lots of functionality, and decided to just go with QtWidgets and save myself from all of QML's JS influences and C++ interop boilerplate.

What boilerplate?

There’s a whole Javascript rendering engine that ships with every compiled app so QML can handle animations and the like.

To get the Qml engine to work with any other code you need to write the bioler plate interop between your language and the Qml engine.
