A pointer to a GuiControl-inherited class

Hi,
I'm trying to get one of my classes to use a pointer of an inherited class of GuiControl to draw some lines to the screen. I have tried to use the primbuilder for now with the help of this page tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/TSE/MovingToGFX. I tried to add the pointer like this:
myclass.h:
CGFX* pGfx; // GuiControl inherited class
myclass.cc:
this->pGfx = new CGFX();
No error in compiling but seems like while debugging that the pGfx pointer hasn't been initialized properly (can't be evaluated). I think I'm getting rusty with my C++, since I can't really tell what's wrong with this.
Also, it seems that I can use the pointer to send data (pGfx->myvariable = 100;) but nothing is transferred. And I do have this gui implemented in script, and I've tried to draw directly from the inherited class which works OK.
Can someone tell what's wrong with this?
