Hi,

In the last commit, I added a new API in 'gb.web.gui', named 
'WebForm.Call()' that allows the server application to execute any 
javascript on the browser client, and waits for the result using a modal 
event loop.

I added a 'WebDrawingArea.GetContents()' method as an example, that 
returns the contents of the distant WebDrawingArea canvas as a Gambas 
Image object. This method automatically loads the 'gb.image' and 
'gb.image.io' components to do that (as the browser returns the canvas 
contents as a PNG image).

The API is experimental. Try it to tell me if it fits your need. I think 
Fabien Bodard will be interested too.

Regards,
