Right, sorry, I've overlooked the fact that the code I'm trying to port
to wxLua doesn't actually override OnRightClick() but connects an event
handler to EVT_RIGHT_UP like this:

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(WidgetsTextCtrl, wxTextCtrl)
    EVT_RIGHT_UP(WidgetsTextCtrl::OnRightClick)
END_EVENT_TABLE()

So the code in wxLua has to look like this:

textCtrl:Connect(wx.wxEVT_RIGHT_UP, function(e) print("hello") end)

Then it works fine.
