how to use thickbox in admin?

by

I would like to show my retrieved content form my classes method in thickbox. How could I do this? I have been adding the proper id to my desired hyperlink but all of the admin body is getting parsed inside of the thickbox. 

<a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/76358/?page=blahblah&TB_iframe=true&width=600&height=550" class="thickbox">Click</a>


class myAdmin {

    public function __construct() {

    }

    public function myfunction() {    
        echo '<div class="css_class">The content of my thickbox</div>';    
    }

}

Below, an example of what’s needed to use ThickBox.

<?php     
wp_enqueue_style('thickbox');
wp_enqueue_script('thickbox');    
?>

<a href="#" id="taxonomy_banner_image" class="taxonomy_banner_image"> 
Click Here
</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {   
    jQuery("#taxonomy_banner_image").click(function() {                 
        tb_show("", "filename?TB_iframe=true");
        return false;
    });
});             
</script>

tb_show parameters:

  1. title of the box.
  2. url of file and with parameter iframe=true

I think this will give you an idea how to use the ThickBox. If you face any problem, let me know.
