i have one frame and it contains labels and text boxes to create a new user
one of my label field is to select a group.I want to provide a functionality where the user will click on button (say search next to the label) and a new dialog will
open and user can search on his criteria and then select the group. Once he selects the group and close the dialog, i want text box in the calling component(frame) to be filled up with the selected value.

can some one help me out and provide some example code

it really sounds like you'd be better off using a comboBox
instead of a 'group search' dialog (to return a single line
of text for your label).

default behavior is to go to the letter typed e.g type J and
it will go to the first group name starting with J.

you can build in additional functionality to then go the the 2nd letter etc
