fxruby users - Sep 2010 - removeTimeout in a timeout handler

I have
    timeout_ = @app.addTimeout(milliseconds, method_, :repeat => true)


My analysis shows that
  removeTimeout(timeout_)
does not seem to work inside of the method_.  In other words, you can''t
remove a repeating timeout inside a timeout.

Could someone confirm, please.

I have worked around this problem by schedule a chore to remove the timeout ...
but that seems ugly.  Anyone have a better solution?

in code I have this when a user presses a set of keys (escape key lets say)


do it''s a test on @timer

Keypress method handler

case pressed

  when 65535, 65307, 65360 , 65365..65367, 65379 # Page Up, Page Down Home, End,
Insert, Delete and Escape

    if @timer == false
      $fxapp.addTimeout(2000*12, :repeat => true) do |sender, sel, data|
    else

      $fxapp.removeTimeout(@timeout)
     @timer = false

    end


end

Well that''s how I handle it

HTH.
