Display text under cursor in JavaFX

Question

I want to create text under the cursor in my javafx application. It should look like this. How do I do this?

**setToolTip(ToolTip)** is maybe what you are looking for. Try http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/tooltip.htm for detailed help — ShayHaned, Jun 30 '17 at 09:32

JavaFX Tooltip is the UI component used to display additional information for another component when you move the mouse over the surface of the component.

TextField field_userName= new TextField();

Tooltip tooltip_userName=new Tooltip("Enter user name");

// Set tooltip
field_userName.setTooltip(tooltip_userName);

// Or using Tooltip.install
Tooltip.install(field_userName, tooltip_userName);

// Uninstall tooltip
Tooltip.uninstall(field_userName, tooltip_userName);
