I don't think Get Pointer is working when called from A4D.
If I execute
$var_p:=Get Pointer("$TestVariable")
I don't remember saying in the documentation that I supported
pointers to locals (yet).
My effort in all of this is to be able to convert my form fields
named (for example), "FieldA", "FieldB", etc into local variables
called $FieldA, $Field B... that have been assigned whatever values
the user has entered.
I realize I can just use $FieldA:=_form("FieldA"), but some forms
have many fields and was looking for an easy way to convert them.
If that is your intention, the 'get pointer' technique is the wrong
way to go about it. If you have a form field called "name", how would
'get pointer("name")' magically point to the form data for that field?
Your original technique of iterating over the form variables was
basically correct, but you cannot get a pointer to a value within the
form variables collection, you need to do this:
set local(get item key($it); get item value($it))
