    closeBtn.setOnAction(e -> Platform.exit());

    fName.getProperties().put("microHelpText", "Enter the first name");
    lName.getProperties().put("microHelpText", "Enter the last name");
    salary.getProperties().put("microHelpText", "Enter a salary greater than $2000.00.");

    // The help text node is unmanaged
    helpText.setManaged(false);/*from  ww  w .j  a  v a2  s.  c o  m*/
    helpText.setTextOrigin(VPos.TOP);
    helpText.setFill(Color.RED);
    helpText.setFont(Font.font(null, 9));
    helpText.setMouseTransparent(true);

    // Add all nodes to a GridPane
    GridPane root = new GridPane();

    root.add(new Label("First Name:"), 1, 1);
    root.add(fName, 2, 1);
    root.add(new Label("Last Name:"), 1, 2);
    root.add(lName, 2, 2);

    root.add(salary, 2, 3);
    root.add(closeBtn, 3, 3);
    root.add(helpText, 4, 3);

    Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 100);

    // Add a change listener to the scene, so we know when
    // the focus owner changes and display the micro help   
    scene.focusOwnerProperty().addListener((ObservableValue<? extends Node> value, Node oldNode,
            Node newNode) -> focusChanged(value, oldNode, newNode));
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.setTitle("Showing Micro Help");
