No, it's not. That is not compilable, so it can't be the code. This may
seem 
like nitpicking but......

Don't assume because the 'crash' occurred on this call that that is where 
your problem is.

You could have made a mistake somewhere else in your program, but it just 
didn't show up until this point.

Prove it to yourself by running this program
#IINCLUDE "Win32API.INC"
#INCLUDE "COMMCTL.INC"
FUNCTION PbMain() AS LONG
  InitCommonControls
  LOCAL cc As ChooseColorAPI, Z AS LONG
 cc.lstructsize = SIZEOF(cc)
 cc.hwndowner= GetDesktopWindow()   ' OR %NULL
 cc.flags = %cc_full open OR %cc_rgbinit

 Z =  ChooseColor (CC)

END FUNCTION

If this program runs to conclusion, the ChooseColor Common Dialog is
working 
just fine and your problem is elsewhere in your program.

First thing to do... don't run in stepping debugger. That introduces 
additional code. Just 'compile & execute.'  Save the stepping debugger for

really tough problems. Besides, not using the stepping debugger teaches
you 
the benefits of writing "debuggable" code.

(Last suggestion is NOT a consensus opinion. It is, however, my opinion.)
