John,
FWIW - I use Object get pointer all the time in generic project methods.
Typically like so:

// form.object.btn_button  - a or field button script
Form_controller

project method:

// Form_controller
$ptrCurrent:=Object get pointer(Current object)

$objName:=Object get name(Current object)

Case of

  :($objName = "btn_button")

if($ptrCurrent->=1)
...

end if

...

​  : (etc)​


 End case

​How or where are you invoking​ Object get pointer?

O
​bject get name is great for everything except listbox elements - currently
it returns the name of the listbox instead of the name of the object within
the listbox. Object get pointer works perfectly is that situation, though.
