It looked to me like that's in the roadmap, at least the 
beginning stages of it.... "New controls and containers that 
generate HTML Web pages, with maybe some JavaScript." and then, 
"How to implement complex controls like TreeView with HTML and 
JavaScript?"


I myself have thought about doing that (in the course of rolling 
my own perl AJAX "toolkit") where you would use Javascript on 
the client to dispatch all the events generated by the controls 
on the form back to the server, run the gambas code there, and 
send the results back to the web form.... but that'll be pretty 
difficult to get up to the level of gb.gtk forms, let alone 
gb.qt.  (I've had a hell of a time making a Javascript combo box 
that relied on the server to provide its list data, so I can 
only imagine what writing a dynamically populated treeview 
control will be like....)
