FM9 foot-switch layout and functions be programable by the FX III

Will the FM9 foot-switch layout and functions be programable via the FX III, by selecting FC Controllers in Axe Edit. If so would there be an additional option to select FM-9 from the 'Show As', option or would it be by using the FC-12 option which would show only 9 switches?
