Merging menustrip items from MDI child into parent's menu

Question

I have a MDI child form which has got some menu options under File tag. Also I have some menu options under the same File tag in the MDI parent form. How to merge the options under the File menu so that they appear under a single File menu when the child form is maximized. I tried the steps given in the following stackoverflow questions but I did not get the desired solution.

Following the steps given in the above questions, I have two File menus appearing in the menu bar.

How to resolve this?

I used this solution:

• Set the MergeAction property of your mdi child File menu to MatchOnly
• Set the Visible property of the menu strip of your child mdi form to false
