Simpler alternative, just a Repeater with a ListModel inside TabBar :

import QtQuick 2.0 import QtQuick.Window 2.2 import QtQuick.Controls 2.0 ApplicationWindow { visible: true width: 640 height: 480 ListModel { id: tabModel } TabBar { Repeater { model: tabModel TabButton { text: model.text + " " + model.index onClicked: tabModel.remove(model.index) } } } Button { anchors.centerIn: parent text:"add" onClicked: tabModel.append({text: "tab"}); } }

EDIT: My bad, I didn't saw @LeLev first answer, it's very similar to mine. But I fell compelled to post it cause there's a lot of over complicated code in the following answers.
