wxruby users - Apr 2009 - Wx::Timer

I want to process and event at regular time intervals. It appears that
Wx::Timer should do the job, but I haven''t been able to figure out how
to use in in wxruby. The documentation for this is still for C++. I''ve
tried the following:

(In my form class''s initialize method):
   @timer = Wx::Timer.new
   evt_timer(@timer.id) {|event| onTimer(event)}
   @timer.start(1000)

Later in the form, I have the onTimer routine defined. The problem is
that its never being called.

Does anyone know how to use Wx::Timer?

Thanks in advance

The introductory documentation here: 
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/timer.html is correct for Ruby (though 
it seems to have a few formatting errors). For what you want the best 
way would be as the first example on that page:

Wx::Timer.every(500) do
  puts "Tick"
end
