hi, I have problem about timer that I want to use with Wxruby. I want to add 'a' in the text every 1 second. and this's my code @textbox4.set_value(subject) @textbox5.set_value(search) for i in 0..20 search = search+"a" @textbox5.set_value(search) @timer = Timer.new(self,102) evt_timer(102) { |event| on_timer(search)} @timer.start(100) def on_timer(search) search = search+"a" @textbox5.set_value(search) return search end end It show me 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' without show 'a' every 1 second. How can I do it?? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
