Whole number input is not available

Posted on by ynaing

I would like to add an input filed which accepts only whole number.

Although the documentation provides that I could use "Format" property, there is no "Format" property for the input field. control-text-input

Format – Whether the user input is restricted to numbers only or can be any text.

Currently, I check validation onChange. But I just want to know that is there any way rather than checking validation.

Hi @ynaing,

Here is the thing, if you want to force the whole number input, you must have validation on it because only the changes the TextInput made could be validated if it is whole number or not.

OnChange validation is necessary if you want to input whole number.

Further, the control you posted is not a TextInput, this validation must heppen on a TextInput.

If you have a text input control, set the OnChange property as below:

If(TextInput1.Text <> "" And Value(TextInput1.Text) <> RoundDown(Value(TextInput1.Text),0), Notify("Not a whole number"); Reset(TextInput1) )

Hi @v-qiaqi-msft
Thanks for your reply.

I found that there are 2 separate controls. "Text Input" and "Text Box"
They are not same.
But in the same power apps screen, I have used "Text Box" which already has whole number input.
Later I can't use "Text Input" and there is only "Text Box".

With "Text Box" I cannot change the border color when validation fail.
Using "Reset" is ok for new form, but not appropriate in edit mode.

Currently I copy the previous "Text Input" and paste everywhere I want to use it.

Hi @ynaing,

Could you please show me your app configuration?

I guess the your mentioned "Text Box" is the Label control. You are right, Text Box and Text Input are totally different control, Label is used to display string and you could not input anything there. However TextInput control could input.

Here is the thing, the Reset feature works only for a TextInput, it could be reset in new mode as well as edit mode, but you should set it within the OnChange property of the Text Input control.

I strongly suggest you use a TextInput control to validate the number input because it is much more efficient.
