How to get location of mouse in JavaFX?

Question

I am a beginner in java(fx).
How do you get the mouse location in x and y in JavaFX? I tried using AWT\'s MouseInfo(also imported it), but it\'s not worki

Answer 1

What about using Robot for that purpose ?

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Robot.html

Using Robots, it is different from posting event to AWT event queue. Events are generated in the native event queue. Actually, with Robot.mouseMove you will not only set mouse position and not only get position.

For getting mouse position, you may stick to MouseInfo

import java.awt.MouseInfo;
// get the mouse's position
Point p = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();

It's not working: are you with Mac ? Which is your version of JavaFX ? seems to be issues corrected for FX8. For mac only, you may use

com.sun.glass.ui.Robot robot =
       com.sun.glass.ui.Application.GetApplication().createRobot();

// getPosition of the mouse in Mac
int x = robot.getMouseX(); 
int y = robot.getMouseY();
