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??

:slight_smile: i think putting it out of the 0..20 loop might help.

I try to put out of loop and then it show 'aa'.

First 'a' from
search = search+"a"

and second 'a' from method on_timer.

I want it to show 'a' in 20 time. what should I do :cry:
