From your question I guess that you are using a laptop or PC with bulit-in WiFi card and want to use that Card as your Kali-Linux card in VirtualBox. The answer is No and the reason is windows has some particular access to the card and doesn’t allow VirtualBox to takeover.  
But you can buy a cheap external card which you can then plugin and allow access through VirtualBox settings.

you can’t do anything that windows can’t do, simply because you are emulating Linux on top of windows.
