digging a bit more i found the 'UscCtrl' example, which uses the 'Counter.usc' to have TheIDE understand it. it seems to even react on changes on the usc script immediately, seems like TheIDE is aware of changes to the file. great.

it names the prperties to Edit

	Frame  SetFrame = BlackFrame() @2;
	Font   SetFont = StdFont();
	Color  Ink = :SBlack;
	Color  Paper = :SWhite;

and by playing around i found the syntax for '>'

ctrl MyCtrl {
	> EditInt;
..
};

indicates TheIDE to use the properties from EditInt..cool.

now the biggest point for me now is, to make changes to the layout output possible..with the goal to be able to edit live properties from controls.. since now, the usc infos are used to build the '.lay' code, which is static and compile time for the used Ctrl's.

what would be the approach?
