   as far as I know it is not possible.   
   However, you could substitue the switch menu by a temorary tableframe (e.g.   
   on a small, floating dialog form) that looks like a menu, has the same   
   functionality (mouseClick) and allows you to format the options-text   
   manually or with code depending on program conditions.   
   Only an idea...
