Q. How I can call OWL Dialog from Non OWL Application.

A.

Create OWL Dialog in DLL.

Create C callable function that will create and execute Dialog, for example
extern "C" int PASCAL __export CallDialog(HWND parentHWnd, COLORREF& colorBuffer)
{
    // Create an alias OWL application object when called from anon-OWL
    // program so that TDialog is happy
    //
    TModule* appModule;
    TApplication dummyApp("color dialog app", appModule);
    TWindow parentAlias(parentHWnd, ::gModule);
    return TColorDialog(&parentAlias, (TColor&)colorBuffer).Execute();
}

You can call this function from any Application.
