Looked for examples but couldn't find any.  
How can I limit the input of a ui\_text\_input numeric field to only positive numbers ?  
If you use the 2 small up/down you can go from 0 to negative numbers.

Use a `ui_numeric` node instead?

Thanks, that's right. Of course when something is under my node I just can't see it 🙂
