So I have three last issues, thanks for all the help

1) if I use the usercontrol name "Name="WaitTickerCustomControl" then the Custom Control disappears in the Main Window odd.

2) The directly Bound dependency property are bound but nothing updates

3) The Indirectly Bound property's only affect the third ticker odd...

Thanks for the help im learning alot.
