passing a string to another thread [XBOX360]

hi all... dont know if anyone here can help me..i am making a socket connection to an irc server through xbox


its already working and that is not the problem

the problem is that i have added multithreading and cannot pass a string to the new thread

Code:

ExCreateThread(&moduleHandle, 0, &threadId, (VOID*)ConnectSock , (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)ConnectSock, NULL, 0x02);

NULL is what i see everyone using

but i want to pass a string to it

Code:

ExCreateThread(&moduleHandle, 0, &threadId, (VOID*)ConnectSock , (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)ConnectSock, &GT, 0x02);

and then in ConnectSock()

i think i would have

Code:

void ConnectSock(LPVOID zGT) {


}

what do i do to send the string over am i doing that part right? and if so  how do i cast the pointer back into a string?
