About timer?

Ruby
1

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??
