I apologize, can you give me an example?

This is how I've created a thread..

void CvcatTransmit::OnTransmitStart()
{
        thread = (CThread *)AfxBeginThread(RUNTIME_CLASS(CThread),
                                        THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL,
                                        0, //stacksize
                                        CREATE_SUSPENDED);
        thread->SetMe = true;
        thread->ResumeThread();
}

CThread is a class that inherits CWinThread.
Now, in my thread I need to be able to update my edit boxes which
reside in the CvcatTransmit class.

this is what I've tried:

inside of Thread.h

CEdit * MyBox;

then inside OnTransmitStart()

thread->MyBox = &vcatBox;

and it fails to work.. any other ideas?
