You'd probably want to look in the GUI and basic scripting sections of the documentation.

@Gee: You should look in the documentation section on this site, which has tutorials and docs on GUI elements. You can also look at the .gui files that come with the engine and see how the GUI is set up, which can give you a good overview of how to proceed.

Take a look at where the player is asked to input a name when hosting/joining a server. It's this name that shows up in the ChatHud. That would be your example.
