public class CustomTextField
extends javafx.scene.control.TextField

A base class for people wanting to customize a TextField to contain nodes inside the text field itself, without being on top of the users typed-in text.

Screenshot

The following screenshot is taken from the HelloControlsFX sample application, and shows a normal TextField, with a clearable text field, followed by three CustomTextFields. Note what happens with long text input - it is prevented from going beneath the left and right graphics. Of course, if the keyboard caret moves to the right, the text will become visible, but this is because it will all scroll to the left (as is the case in a normal TextField).
