It might be simpler than that. In examples/dialog.rb, change one method 
as follows:

   # Show the non-modal dialog
   def onCmdShowDialog(sender, sel, ptr)
     @dialog.show
     Thread.new {
       sleep 2
       @dialog.hide
     }
   end

The dialog stays open for 2 sec, allowing user interaction, and then 
goes away.
