Does anyone use API calls when application is running on Wine? What should I do to use API? Thanks.

Sure, everything an app does is an API call, just about.
What exactly did you have in mind?

Our application has public C-API calls to access application functionalities. We have a C-API testing application, but once I run the testing application on Wine, the APIs do not seem to work.

Then there's a bug somewhere, probably in Wine,
but it's in something more specific than "API calls not working".

Is your app available for us to try?
Or can you send us a log of the app running under Wine?

Which version of Wine are you using, btw?

I believe the version is 0.9.6*. So under normal circumstances, I should be able to use C-API under Wine? I run my application on Wine, and run my test app on Wine. The test app should be able to call into my application, right?
Thanks.

I hope you mean 0.9.60.

Well, generally, yes, but without more details we
can't say. You have not given enough information.

What exact functions are you talking about? Also note there is no such thing as "C-API" in windows. You have to be exact when asking such a vague questions.
