If i'm just supposed to guess, then:

% one char vec for each a b c, etc
symbols = {'.-' '..' '--' 'dee' 'ee' 'eff' 'gee'}; 

% input 
invec = 'adgfcbe';

% assemble output
outtvec = horzcat(symbols{double(lower(invec))-double('a')+1})

outtvec = '.-deegeeeff--..ee'

If this is part of a gui, you'll have to deal with that in the callback that you specified for that object, or you'll have to otherwise access the appropriate properties of that object in order to get the string that's in the box.
