if entered password is correct, launch the application
else, display "Incorrect password" and terminate the appication before launch.

I'm not a programmer, this may not be this easy or my idea may be incorrect. Please do correct me.
The current AppLocker works hiding the desktop shortcut for the application. I suggested to the developer a different approach: replace the program executable path in the desktop shortcut with one of the AppLocker with some parameter to identify the original program. When selected a window is showed requesting the password....if correct, the program is started.

But the developer didn't like it....
