WINDEV, developed by PC SOFT, is a Windows development environment for creating applications. A GAB file stores descriptions of styles applied to controls in WINDEV projects.
The file belongs to the project's development resources and is used by WINDEV when maintaining the appearance and formatting of controls. It is not a general-purpose text or image format and is intended for use within WINDEV.
Open the file with WINDEV on Microsoft Windows. In most cases, it should be accessed through the WINDEV project that uses it rather than opened directly.
If WINDEV does not recognise the file, keep it with its project and avoid editing it manually, as changes may make the project style definitions unusable.
A GAB file does not have a useful standalone conversion target. Its contents are WINDEV control-style definitions rather than a document intended for interchange.
To move the styles to another WINDEV project, use WINDEV's project and style-management features, or recreate the styles in the destination project.
