Microsoft has introduced the PostRender event of a UIElement in the .NET Micro Framework 3.0 release.

Nice Menu in .NET Micro Framework Print E-mail

I have also extended the event handling system, so you can now easily attach event handlers to individuals items, instead of putting all the code to one generic handler.
