This will not work unless the application is an X Windows program. Native windows apps cannot be used remotely with ssh, because they are not network-aware. This may be possible with remote desktop/terminal server/etc, but it's outside the scope of Cygwin. All that ssh can do is forward a stream of bytes across the connection. The application must be designed to work in this manner, such as X11 apps. Ssh cannot work miracles.
