For me, too. Seriously, this limitation can be worked around right
now by writing [NULL] or something and you actually can display
anything (including colourful text in a cell) in wxDataViewCtrl, but
you'll have to write a (simplistic) custom renderer yourself. Maybe
I'll just add one to show this. I suggest you have a look at 
wxDataViewCtrl either as per the docs or the code itself in TRUNK
and let us know what you think and what is missing etc.
