A little feedback. When I launch your wrapper from a commandline and am in windowed mode the title bar (and the app) never receive focus, hence the keyboard input doesn't seem to work, although the exit key (Escape) kills the app. If I try, for instance, Alt-R nothing happnes. If I click on the title bar to give ChankEx focus then Alt-R bring up the Run menu. Also, if I set the ini file to fullscreen=true the I get a Windows System error but that could just be my machine.
Nice job so far,
John

This wrapper is not new, it's been around for quite quite a while ;) But this version adds support for ChankEx and ChankEx is a hack and does some tricks to do the things it does. Are you running this with ChankEx or the original Chankast emulator? A few people have reported problems running the wrapper with ChankEx. I havn't had time to look into them right now, but crashing when going fullscreen is one of them, and I've experienced the problem on my dev machine, although I can't seem to get it to happen with a fresh install of ChankEx + wrapper anymore.
If your using the original Chankast and the window is not getting focus then that could be an introduced problem. I only use BringWindowToTop() just before I send keys to the window. But I notice in older versions I also do a SetForegroundWindow() after that. And sometimes for good measure in other wrappers I've used SetFocus() and SetActiveWindow(). But usually BringWindowToTop() is enough to get the Window on top of zorder and in focus to recieve input.
Get back to me on which version emulator your using, and if it's the original, I'll post another version with some of these other API functions, and it shouldn't be a problem to get it in focus. I'm also not sure why you would want to run this wrapper from commandline, have you tried setting up a shortcut instead?

ChankEx 1.4.5
I was just testing from the commandline to get everything configured. I always do that before adding it to a front end so I can be sure of the proper syntax.
