You must use a validator to achieve this. This is a more advanced topic 
though. A validator is a function that is called whenever the user keys 
something in - even by copy/pasting - and has to decide, whether this 
change is accepted or not. It is relatively easy to annoy your users if 
the validator is not written carefully. For instance, you must always 
accept th eempty string, otherwise the users won't be able to delete 
everything - very annoying behaviour.

See for example this SO question
