    @beidaochuan To explain here's an example:
    main.qml

    import QtQuick 2.4
    import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
    import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.3
    
    Item {
        width: 250
        height: 120
    
        ComboBox {
            model: ListModel {
                id: cbItems
                ListElement { text: "Banana"; color: "Yellow" }
                ListElement { text: "Apple"; color: "Green" }
                ListElement { text: "Coconut"; color: "Brown" }
            }
            width: 200
    
            style: ComboBoxStyle {
                id: comboBoxStyle
                background: Rectangle {
                    id: rect
                    border.color: "red"
                    color: "white"
                }
    
                label: Text {
                    color: "black"
                    text: control.currentText
                }
    
                __dropDownStyle: MenuStyle {
                    frame: DropDownItem { }
    
                    itemDelegate.label: Text {
                        color: styleData.selected ? "red" : "black"
                        text: styleData.text
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    

    DropDownItem.qml

    import QtQuick 2.4
    
    Rectangle {
        color: "white"
        border.width: 1
        radius: 5
        border.color: "gray"
    }
    

    Now you can change DropDownItem as per your needs. I see you have some images in it. So you can use Image element inside DropDownItem.

                  __dropDownStyle: MenuStyle {

                      itemDelegate.label: Text {
                          color: styleData.selected ? "red" : "black"
                          text: styleData.text
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
      }
      

      DropDownItem.qml

      import QtQuick 2.4
      
      Rectangle {
          color: "white"
          border.width: 1

      i did as you said, and modified the source as follows.

      itemDelegate.background: IUserLevelImage{ userLevel: combx.currentIndex + 1}
      frame: DropDownItem { }

      And get the result like http://imgur.com/m4QW7c6
      But I want to get the different background for banana , apple and coconut

        @beidaochuan In that case use a Loader for itemDelegate.background and load the Components (in your case QML files) as per conditions. Each Component will contain individual styles.

        itemDelegate.background: Loader {
            source: if(styleData.text==="Coconut") {
                        return "CoconutStyle.qml"
                    } else if(styleData.text==="Banana") {
                        return "BananaStyle.qml"
                    } else if(styleData.text==="Apple") {
                        return "AppleStyle.qml"
                    }
        }

                            return "AppleStyle.qml"
                        }
            }

            Thanks at first.
            I am sorry that maybe I did not make the problem clear.
            I want to implement a custom ComboBox whose items can be text , image, or object (***.qml).
            So I think it would be common for all case.
            Could you give me some advice?

                I modified the code like:

                //IComboBox
                
                import QtQuick 2.3
                import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
                import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.3
                
                Item {
                    id: root
                    width: 200
                    height: 50
                
                    property alias comboBoxModel: combx.model
                    property alias comboBoxStyleBackground: m_comboBoxStyle
                    property alias dropDownMenuStyleframe: m_dropDownMenuStyleFrame
                    signal indexChanged()
                    property alias currentIndex: combx.currentIndex
                    property alias currentText: combx.currentText
                
                    Rectangle {
                        id: m_dropDownMenuStyleFrame
                    }
                
                    Rectangle {
                        id: m_comboBoxStyle
                    }
                
                    ComboBox {
                        id: combx
                        model: ListModel {
                            id: cbItems
                        }
                        width: 200
                        height: 50
                        style: ComboBoxStyle {
                            id: comboBoxStyle
                            background: m_comboBoxStyle
                            label: Text {
                                color: "black"
                                width: 200
                                height: 50
                                text: control.currentText
                            }
                
                            __dropDownStyle: MenuStyle {
                                id: dropDownMenuStyle
                                frame: dropDownMenuStyleFrame
                                itemDelegate.label: Text {
                                    width:200
                                    height: 50
                                    color: styleData.selected ? "blue" : "black"
                                    text: styleData.text
                                }
                
                                itemDelegate.background: Rectangle {
                                    z: 1
                                    opacity: 0.5
                                    color: styleData.selected ? "darkGray" : "transparent"
                                }
                            }
                        }
                        onCurrentIndexChanged: {
                            root.indexChanged()
                        }
                    }
                }
                

                I use it in another my.qml,

                // my.qml
                import QtQuick 2.3
                import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
                import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.3
                
                IComboBox {
                    id: root
                    width: 200
                    height: 50
                
                    property int m_userLevel: 1
                    comboBoxModel: ListModel {
                        id: cbItems
                        ListElement { }
                        ListElement { }
                        ListElement { }
                        ListElement { }
                    }
                    comboBoxStyleBackground: IUserLevelImage {
                        userLevel: m_userLevel
                    }
                    dropDownMenuStyleframe: IUserLevelImage1 {
                        id: items
                    }
                    onIndexChanged: {
                        m_userLevel = currentIndex + 1
                    }
                }
                

                So an error happened.
                Invalid property assignment: "dropDownMenuStyleframe" is a read-only property

                Could yoy tell me the reason and how i can modified it ?

                    @beidaochuan That is because alias'es work with Component's properties and not with Components. More info here. The example should explain.
                    Put your code after ``` (3 backticks) and end with the same. I have done it for you now.
