Hi,

I got this TimerDemo from:  
[http://groups.google.com/group/fxruby-google/tree/browse\_frm/thread/40a67540b556c044/07dc2fc50395968f?rnum=1&q=FXRuby&\_done=%2Fgroup%2Ffxruby-google%2Fbrowse\_frm%2Fthread%2F40a67540b556c044%2F07dc2fc50395968f%3Ftvc%3D1%26q%3DFXRuby%26#doc\_c1255c247cc60a1e](http://groups.google.com/group/fxruby-google/tree/browse_frm/thread/40a67540b556c044/07dc2fc50395968f?rnum=1&q=FXRuby&_done=%2Fgroup%2Ffxruby-google%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2F40a67540b556c044%2F07dc2fc50395968f%3Ftvc%3D1%26q%3DFXRuby%26#doc_c1255c247cc60a1e)

I tried to add the star-up code, but was only partially correct. I’d  
appreciate some guidance in correcting it.

I posted the code at [http://www.pastie.org/pastes/732557/edit](http://www.pastie.org/pastes/732557/edit)

When I ran the code from within SciTE over WinXP/SP3,  
I got a centered graphic apparently consisting of two controls:

- a textbox populated with “1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz”
- a static progress bar with no “progress” content

Furthermore, this graphic was not accompanied by “normal” normal  
Windows’ features, i.e. a border and caption bar.

To get rid of this graphic, I had to invoke the Task Manager and  
end the “TimerDemo” task.

Thanks in Advance,  
Richard
