MDI Child Merge MenuStrip

Hello all,

Is there anyway to stop a child form's minimize,maximize,close and system
menu from automatically merging with the MDI parent's menustrip when you
click the maximize button on the child?

I'm able to catch the WM_GETMINMAXINFO message in WndProc and I can adjust
the MinTrackSize, MaxTrackSize. I just can't for the life of me stop it from
merging into the parent.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
