Kirill,
ControlsFX has support for this if a 3rd party lib is ok. With
TextFields.createClearableTextField() you create a search field with an
eraser icon to clear the text. And the AutoCompletionBinding applied
to the textfield implements the auto complete dropdown. You only have to
provide
I'm afraid in my project I will only allowed to use vanilla javafx only.
It would be good if someone could write a blog of how to create a bare
minimum combobox control with desired behaviour like I explained.
Thanks for the reference.

Hi Kirill,
I looked at this again quickly and while there might be a combination of
events and listeners that can make a combo box behave this way, you are

JavaFX ComboBox has binding between TextEdit field and the ListView
selection such that edit field gets updated when we change the selected
item in the drop down list.
Is there a way to break this binding - when we select an item in the
list the editor field remains untouched. Where should I
Hi Kirill,
What exactly are you trying to do? The following (crap) listens for the
value to change and then sets it back:
ChangeListenerString l = new ChangeListenerString () {
public void changed(ObservableValue observable, String
oldValue,
String
I'm implementing a searchbox.
In the textfield of the combobox I'm typing a search string.
textProperty of the editor has an onChange listener which forms a list
of strings that contain the text as a substring. Then I set this list of
strings as a content of the drop down list of the combobox.
