You could use the slider control instead. It has Max and min properties.
However, for a textbox, you could set the OnChange property of the textbox to this:

If( Value(TextInput1.Text) > 9 || Value(TextInput1.Text) < 1, Notify( "Invalid entry. Please enter a number 1 through 9", NotificationType.Error ) && Reset(TextInput1) )

Where TextInput1 is the textbox you're using.

Hi @cchan000 ,

Which one do you mean?

1) user could only enter 1-9 ?

2)user could only enter text that only has 1-9 number?

When user enter invalid text, what action do you want? display a warning or just can not enter into the textinput?

A. how to justify

1)if you want to user could only enter 1-9,please use this to justify:

Value(TextInput1.Text)>=1&&Value(TextInput1.Text)<=9

2)if you want to user could only enter text that only has 1-9 number,please use this to justify:

IsNumeric(TextInput1.Text)&&!(0 in TextInput1.Text)

B.action

(set the textinput's OnChange)

1)if you want to show warning, please try this:

If(formula1=false,Notify("you've entered invalid word",NotificationType.Warning))

//formula1 is the justify formulas that I listed above, please choose one to replace it.

2)if you want to user can not enter invalid text into the textinput,please try this:

set Textinput's Default: var1

set textinput's format to number

user could only enter 1-9

If((Value(TextInput1.Text)>=1&&Value(TextInput1.Text)<=9)=false,Set(var1,Substitute(TextInput1.Text,"0",""));Reset(TextInput1))

user could only enter text that only has 1-9 number

If(0 in TextInput1.Text,Set(var1,Substitute(TextInput1.Text,"0",""));Reset(TextInput1))

Best regards,
