JavaFX How to know the coordinates of the cursor, which is in TextField?

If you look at the TextFieldSkin class, it inherits from TextInputControlSkin . It contains an instance of the Path class, which shows the cursor, caretPath . But it is declared with the protected modifier.

 protected final Path caretPath = new Path(); 

To gain access to it, you need to create a successor. In it we will get access to our cursor. And with each change of the cursor we will catch it and process it.

 import com.sun.javafx.scene.control.skin.TextFieldSkin; import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener; import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue; import javafx.geometry.Bounds; import javafx.geometry.Point2D; import javafx.scene.control.TextField; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class TextFieldCaretControlSkin extends TextFieldSkin { public TextFieldCaretControlSkin(TextField textField, Stage stage) { super(textField); // следим за изменениями layoutBoundProperty нашего экземпляра Path caretPath.layoutBoundsProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Bounds>() { @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Bounds> observable, Bounds oldValue, Bounds newValue) { // координаты курсора относительно TextField-а double x = newValue.getMaxX(); double y = newValue.getMaxY(); // искомая координата Point2D p = caretPath.localToScene(x, y); System.out.println(p.toString()); } }); } } 

The same way you can get the coordinates of the cursor from all TextInputControlSkin .
