Javafx - Determine position of cursor on right click relative to gridpane

Question

I have a 40x40 gridpane, displaying a map. Currently, i have the following methods listening for a right click:

    //detect right click + display menu, select if you want to place item 1 or item 2
    final ContextMenu cm = new ContextMenu();
    cm.addEventFilter(MouseEvent.MOUSE_RELEASED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() 
    {
        @Override
        public void handle(MouseEvent event) 
        {
            if (event.getButton() == MouseButton.SECONDARY) 
                event.consume();

        }
    });
    cm.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
        @Override
        public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
            System.out.println("Following item selected: "+
                    ((MenuItem)event.getTarget()).getText());
        }
    });
    //two placeable items
    MenuItem item1Place = new MenuItem("Item 1");
    MenuItem item2Place = new MenuItem("Item 2");
    cm.getItems().addAll(item1Place, item2Place);

    primaryStage.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() 
    {
        @Override
        public void handle(MouseEvent e)
        {
            if (e.getButton() == MouseButton.SECONDARY) 
            {
              cm.show(primaryStage, e.getScreenX(), e.getScreenY());
            } 
        }
    });

What I'd like to implement is the following:

If a menu item is selected after a right click, i'd like to save the position of the right click in a variable
e.g. [32,12] if right click was 32 blocks of the gridpane across, and 12 blocks up.

Any suggestions on how to go about doing this?
Thanks in advance

// first edit code entered below. I realise the indentation is very off however fixing it seemed to turn it back to plain text
placeItem1.setOnAction(evt -> System.out.println("Item 1 placed ["+col+", "+row+"]"));
                placeItem2.setOnAction(evt -> System.out.println(Item 2 placed["+col+", "+row+"]"));
                menu.show(cell, e.getScreenX(), e.getScreenY());
            });
            root.add(cell, x, y);

Add a listener to each cell in the grid, instead of adding one mouse listener to the stage. The proper listener to use for context menu handling is a contextMenuRequested handler:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu;
import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseButton;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class ClicksInGridPane extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        GridPane root = new GridPane();

        final int NUM_ROWS = 40 ;
        final int NUM_COLS = 40 ;

        ContextMenu menu = new ContextMenu();
        MenuItem menuItem1 = new MenuItem("Item 1");
        MenuItem menuItem2 = new MenuItem("Item 2");
        menu.getItems().addAll(menuItem1, menuItem2);

        for (int x = 0 ; x < NUM_COLS ; x++) {
            for (int y = 0 ; y < NUM_ROWS ; y++) {
                Pane cell = new Pane();
                cell.setPrefSize(20, 20);
                // add style just to draw grid:
                cell.setStyle("-fx-background-color: black, white; -fx-background-insets: 0, 0 0 1 1;");

                // context menu listener:
                final int col = x ;
                final int row = y ;

                cell.setOnContextMenuRequested(e -> {
                    menuItem1.setOnAction(evt -> System.out.println("Item 1 selected in cell ["+col+", "+row+"]"));
                    menuItem2.setOnAction(evt -> System.out.println("Item 2 selected in cell ["+col+", "+row+"]"));
                    menu.show(cell, e.getScreenX(), e.getScreenY());
                });

                root.add(cell, x, y);
            }
        }

        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}
