Re: Re: Looking for an "on/off" toggle control

I found a use case ( str(xxx.GetValue()) where it fails logically where
I expected "True" or "False", that may just be my code.

So change the GetValue function in onoffbutton.py to:

    def GetValue(self):
        if self._Value:
            return True
        else:
            return False


As always, Beware there be dragons!

Regards,

Rolf
