No, not really.  Just as in VB, Glade, Qt Designer and most other high 
level GUI development tools (except Delphi), the form design is stored in 
a different format.  You can go into your project directory and view the 
files that end in .form to see what it looks like.

It would probably be pretty easy to write something to convert those files 
into Gambas code that instantiates the form with the selected options.  I 
wrote something years ago to convert a subset of the Gambas form 
description language into HTML and CSS, and converting it to plain Gambas 
code would involve a lot less fiddling around.
