Kovári, swixml tries to find a public available "setXyz" method of the 
"tag-class" if you mention the tag "xyz" in your xml source. There is no 
difference where this method is defined, in the tag-class itself, its 
super-class, or a super-class in any hirarchy level up there. So, if you 
  want to have 10 attributes of your custom component, you have to 
implement 10 functions named setDesiredTagName1(...) to 
setDesiredTagName10(...) in your tag-class.

But perhaps I did misunderstand you, your description of "visible 
controls" (what is that?) and "visible tag in swixML terminology" (I 
never heard of it and it sounds terrible wrong). Try to read and 
understand the examples provided. Try to describe your problem with some 
code snippets.
