If and else – 'custom field' value is 'my selected value'

hi, i added a custom metabox to WP and it has a select box with 2 values – ‘Done’ and ‘Undone’. The code is good as it also has other custom fields, normal ones, and i can retrieve the values (single values).

No my problem is that i can’t get an if/else function to work within my theme.

basicly:
if ‘Done’
echo
else
echo

i tried a more then a couple ways to get this working but i just can’t, the last one was…
if (get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'dbt_tip_ap', false) == "Done") {

also

$status = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'dbt_tip_ap', false);
if (in_array('Done', $status)) {

and other codes…
