return Value;

elseif Value then

-- Value is true, return string True

return "True";

tProperties = DlgComboBox.GetProperties(CTRL_COMBOBOX_02);

-- Show the Debug Window.

Debug.ShowWindow(true);

-- For each property in the table, do this

for Property, Value in pairs(tProperties) do

-- Output property to debug window

Debug.Print(Property .. ": " .. ToString(Value) .. "\r\n\r\n");

end
