You can get the row index and column index using the static methods getRowIndex () and getColumnIndex (), which are in the GridPane class.

 System.out.println("Row: "+ GridPane.getRowIndex(text1)); System.out.println("Column: "+ GridPane.getColumnIndex(text1)); 

See for reference: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/layout/GridPane.html#getRowIndex(javafx.scene.Node)
