            @beidaochuan Upload it to one of the image hosting sites like postimage.org or imgur.com or tinypic.com. Then after uploading there it will return a url. Post that url here directly or to embed it here use syntax ![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg)

                  yes. the second image is one of the items of combobox. In fact the second image is a qml element.

                    @beidaochuan Ok then to make your own custom dropdown. For now, you will need to implement your own dropdown style using __dropDownStyle private property inside ComboBoxStyle.

                      import QtQuick 2.4
                      import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
                      import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.3

                              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.

                                          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.

                          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
                          what should i do?

                            @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"
                                        }
                            }

                                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?

                                  @beidaochuan You can put those components in respective QML files or Component and load it using Loader as shown in previous post.

                                    I use it in another my.qml,

                                    // my.qml
                                    import QtQuick 2.3

                                    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 You can put those components in respective QML files or Component and load it using Loader as shown in previous post.

                                        @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.

                                          I modified the source as follows and I think it works well.

                                          //IComboBox
                                          import QtQuick 2.3
                                          import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
                                          import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.3
                                          
                                          ComboBox {
                                              id: root
                                              width: 200
                                              height: 50
                                          
                                              property alias comboBoxModel: root.model
                                              signal indexChanged()
                                              property alias currentIndex: root.currentIndex
