how to cancel a scheduled command?

[Hamlet D'Arcy]

I scheduled a command using:
Scheduler.get().scheduleFixedPeriod(RepeatingCommand, int);

Is there any way to cancel the command once scheduled?

Hm I don't think so. But you can use GWT's Timer class instead. It has a cancel() method as well as a scheduleRepeating(int delayInMillis) method.

Here is the answer:

The execute() method of Scheduler.RepeatingCommand returns a boolean.
If true, then the command will be invoked again. If false, it will be
cancelled.

public interface RepeatingCommand {
/**
* Returns true if the RepeatingCommand should be invoked again.
*/
boolean execute();

Ahhh you are right! I totally forgot that. I mostly use Timer because I haven't repeating tasks that can decide on its own if they should continue or not.
