Linphone registration and placing call using C API (Windows) - c

Question

Could you please help me with next question.
I'm trying to make registration and place call with Linphone thru C API (Windows).
I can separately successfully register with local SIP server using this tutorial
Basic registration , but I don't know how to place a call after registration using this tutorial Basic call.
The problem is that Basic registration code contains eternal loop executing while application is running:
while (running){
linphone_core_iterate(lc); /* first iterate initiates registration */
ms_usleep(50000);
}
and Basic call code also contains eternal loop executing while application is running:
while(running){
linphone_core_iterate(lc);
ms_usleep(50000);
}
If to place Basic call code into first loop, program will try to place call again and again. How to make registration, and then place a call? Could you help me with that? Thanks.

Here is the solution from this example, use:
/* Loop until registration is OK */
do {
linphone_core_iterate(lc); /* first iterate initiates registration */
ms_usleep(100000);
} while (running && linphone_proxy_config_get_state(proxy_cfg) == LinphoneRegistrationProgress);
instead of:
while (running){
linphone_core_iterate(lc); /* first iterate initiates registration */
ms_usleep(50000);
}
After that I can call and send\receive text messages.
