I am trying this way, which doesn't work :(

Main.qml:

import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
Window {
    visible: true
    MyBtnRow {
        btnData:
            [
            { tag:"Jump",   action:function(){console.log (" Jump Called OK!");}  },
            { tag:"Run",     action:(function(){console.log(" Run  Called OK!");} ) },
            { tag:"Hide",    action:function(){console.log( " Hide Called OK!");}  },
        ]
    }
}

MyBtnRow.qml

import QtQuick 2.0

Row {
    property var btnData  // [{ tag:"Name",  action: function() {... } }
    spacing: 3

    Repeater {
        id: rep
        model: btnData
        Btn {
            id: btnId
            width: 60;
            height: 50;
            label.text:  "Do " + modelData.tag
            onActivated: {
                try { modelData.action() } catch (err) {console.log("  catch (err:" +err.message+") in Button "+label.text);};
            }
        }
    }
}

Btn.qml

import QtQuick 2.0
Rectangle {
    id: buttonId
    property alias label: labelTextId
    signal activated;
    border.width: 2

    Text {
        id: labelTextId
        anchors.centerIn: parent
    }

    MouseArea {
        id: mouseArea
        anchors.fill: parent
        onPressed: {
            buttonId.activated();
        }
    }
}

Thanks!

Nevertheless, a workaround is not complicated:

Main.qml:


import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
Window {
    visible: true
    width: mb.width * 1.6
    height: mb.height * 1.6
    MyBtnRow {
        id: mb
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        btnData: [
            {tag:"Jump", action:"elsewhere definded"},
            {tag:"Run", action:"elsewhere definded"},
            {tag:"Hide", action:"elsewhere definded"},
            ]
        callbackList: {
            "Jump": function(){console.log(" Jump Called OK!"); },
            "Hide": function(){console.log(" Hide Called OK!"); },
            "Run": function(){console.log(" Run Called OK!"); },
         }
    }
}

MyBtnRow.qml:

import QtQuick 2.0

Row {
    property var btnData
    property var callbackList  
    spacing: 3
    Repeater {
        id: rep
        model: btnData
        Btn {
            id: btnId
            width: 60;
            height: 50;
            label.text:  "Do " + modelData.tag
            onActivated: {
                  try { callbackList[modelData.tag]() } catch (err) {console.log("  catch (err:" +err.message+") in Button "+label.text);};
            }
        }
    }
}

Best regards
