How to Get Button Position defined in FXML File from java class

Question

I created with javafx scene builder the fxml file for the interface. Now I need to get the button position on the interface but when I call the button method to get the X,Y coord, the value returned is 0.0.

FXML code:

<AnchorPane xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="controller.NewInvoceController">
<children>  
<VBox AnchorPane.bottomAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.leftAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.rightAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.topAnchor="0.0">
     <children>
        <HBox prefHeight="153.0" prefWidth="1161.0">
           <children>
              <GridPane fx:id="invoiceCustomerGrid" prefHeight="150.0" prefWidth="514.0" HBox.hgrow="ALWAYS">
                <columnConstraints>
                  <ColumnConstraints hgrow="SOMETIMES" minWidth="10.0" prefWidth="100.0" />
                </columnConstraints>
                <rowConstraints>
                    <RowConstraints minHeight="10.0" prefHeight="30.0" valignment="CENTER" />
                  <RowConstraints minHeight="10.0" prefHeight="30.0" valignment="CENTER" vgrow="NEVER" />
                  <RowConstraints minHeight="10.0" prefHeight="30.0" valignment="CENTER" vgrow="NEVER" />

Hello and thanks for the reply. I solved it with the following code.

Button bt;

Bounds localBounds = bt.localToScene(bt.getBoundsInLocal());

double popupX = bt.getScene().getWindow().getX() + localBounds.getMaxX();
double popupY = bt.getScene().getWindow().getY() + localBounds.getMaxY();

I hope that code can be helpful to others.
