 Hello,

 Yes, I believe MSW users do expect right click to work everywhere. And
wxDataViewCtrl does allow showing the context menu even when the mouse is
clicked outside of the items area, so it's just the question of deciding
that we want to show it in this case.

 And I was sure that we did until seeing the point (3) of Wendy's message
about the census view testing which seems to directly contradict it. So now
I don't know if we should change this or not any more.

 Again, it's simple to do it either way, we just need to choose what
exactly do we want to do and I think you should do it as you know the needs
(and habits) of your users better than we do.

 Thanks,
