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 a function to return search results for user input.

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.
The problem is when I start selecting items in the drop down list the
editor field gets updated making new substring search and updating the
list again.
I want to break this dependency. I don't want to update the text
property when I select an item in the drop down list OR I want to
distinguish in the textProperty listener what caused that event - real
editing the field or setting the field trough binding from the list view.
I hope I could make myself clear.
