Chuck,

CR> A native thread (e.g. one created by the FXRuby C extension) cannot call back into the ruby runtime context to execute more ruby code without causing lots of pain.

Ok ... now I'm _really_ confused.


FXRuby has a method called addTimeout (Yes ... it is camel cased).

addTimeout allows you to call back to a Ruby method; either once or repeatedly ... e.g.

  timeout_ = @app.addTimeout(1000, method_, :repeat => true)



method_ will be invoked once every second in the same thread as the call to addTimeout.  This is well documented and seems to work flawlessly.

Is this what you are talking about?

Ralph
