What is the best way to re-write this code to avoid the
'Controls created on one thread cannot be parented to a control on a
different thread.' error?

Private Sub SendCMTStoCore(ByVal Cmts As String)
        Dim threadMillhouseBridge As New
MillhouseCore.ShowCMTSBridge(Cmts, AddressOf FormatReturnCMTSInfo)
        Dim threadCMTSScan As New Thread(AddressOf
threadMillhouseBridge.BeginCMTSScan)
        threadCMTSScan.Name = intThreadCounterMill.ToString

        threadCMTSScan.Start()
        intThreadCounterMill += 1
    End Sub

Create both controls on the same thread? Or, create the controls on the
main process thread; create threads to do whatever work they are supposed to
do and use delegates to invoke methods on the controls.
