-words, the functions callstack. It is mostly useful in only two situations:

+the \helpref{OnStackFrame}{wxstackwalkeronstackframe} method for each frame in the
stack, so to use it you must derive your own class from it and override this
method.

-\func{void}{Walk}{\param{size\_t }{skip = 1}}
+\func{void}{Walk}{\param{size\_t }{skip = 1}, \param{size\_t }{maxDepth = 200}}
Enumerate stack frames from the current location, skipping the initial
number of them (this can be useful when Walk() is called from some known
location and you don't want to see the first few frames anyhow; also
notice that Walk() frame itself is not included if skip $\ge 1$).
+Up to \arg{maxDepth} frames are walked from the innermost to the outermost one.

Enumerate stack frames from the location of uncaught exception.
