The ArrayCtrl is just returning exactly what you put in - an AttrText - but contained in a Value. You just need to convert it back, though this is more slightly more complicated than for Upp 'native' types:

WString GetText(const Value &v)
{
    return IsTypeRaw<AttrText>(v) ? ValueTo<AttrText>(v).text : WString();
}

I missed this trick and I lost many hours finding bugs in improbable places. Everything now work but I needed to modify the previous code as this

String GetText(const Value &v)
{   
    return IsTypeRaw<AttrText>(v) ? ValueTo<AttrText>(v).text.ToString() : (String) v;
}

Thanks!
