Formatting pushbutton text

I've created a button in P9 which, on clicking, produces a series of
options for the user using Case, thus:

method pushButton(var eventInfo Event)
var
theForm Form
endVar

switchMenu
case "Option 1: this option opens form 1" :
theForm.open("option1.fsl",WinStyleMaximize)
case "Option 2: this option opens form 2" :
theForm.open("option.fsl",WinStyleMaximize)
etc.
etc.
endSwitchMenu
endmethod

The text in the resulting menu appears in the default style. Is there
any way of formatting it so that, e.g., the words "Option1" and "Option
2" could be in a different colour, font, etc., from the rest of the
text, e.g. "this option opens form 1"? I've looked through Help and my
Opal book, without success.

Any help gratefully received, as always.

Malcolm,
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...
