Switching between wrapfigure and figure environments

Question

I'm trying to realise switching between wrapfigure and figure environments, using boolean control. But for some reason wrapfigure does not do what it should do - be wrapped, instead it is placed in the end of the text.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\newboolean{Figure} 
\setboolean{Figure}{true}

\newenvironment{WrapFigure}[3]
{
\ifthenelse{\boolean{Figure}}{\begin{wrapfigure}[#1]{#2}{#3}}{\begin{figure}}   
        }
        {   
\ifthenelse{\boolean{Figure}}{\end{wrapfigure}}{\end{figure}}       
}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-2]
\begin{WrapFigure}{14}{r}{0.35\linewidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[draft,width=0.38\linewidth]{NICE Figure.pdf}
    \caption{XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX }
\end{WrapFigure}
\lipsum[1-2]

\end{document}

You are using a group around wrapfigure, that makes it choke.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\usepackage{xparse}

\newboolean{Figure} 
\setboolean{Figure}{true}

\NewDocumentEnvironment{WrapFigure}{omm}
 {%
  \ifFigure
    \IfNoValueTF{#1}
      {\wrapfloat{figure}{#2}{#3}}
      {\wrapfloat{figure}[#1]{#2}{#3}}%
  \else
    \figure
  \fi
 }
 {%
  \ifFigure
    \endwrapfloat
  \else
    \endfigure
  \fi
 }

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-2]

\begin{WrapFigure}[14]{r}{0.35\linewidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[draft,width=0.38\linewidth]{NICE Figure.pdf}
    \caption{XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX }
\end{WrapFigure}

\lipsum[1-2]

\end{document}

(the \ifFigure syntax is simpler, in this case, I believe). With xparse it's easy to keep the syntax of wrapfig.
