How to fill a stringField of a form by selecting a net from the schematic?

Hello, 
I  created a string field and a button for a form using the following codes. What I want to do is that when clicking the button, it will lead me to the shematic and allow me selcect a net. Then the name of the selected net will appear at the stringFiled. How can I do that? Could somebody help me on this issue? Thanks In advance.
 
myVdd = hiCreateStringField(
?name  'Vdd
?prompt "Power Supply:"
?defValue "vdd!"
 )
 
slectVddButton = hiCreateButton(
?name 'slectVdd
?buttonText "Select"
?callback "chooseNet()"
)
