Initialize leap = false
If (year%400 = 0), then leap = true
If (year%4 =0 AND year%100 ≠ 0) then leap = true
print leap
An algorithm to take the leap is in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year
The following pseudocode determines whether a year is a leap year or a common year in the Gregorian calendar (and in the proleptic Gregorian calendarbefore 1582). The year variable being tested is the integer representing the number of the year in the Gregorian calendar, and the tests are arranged to dispatch the most common cases first. Care should be taken in translating mathematical integer divisibility into specific programming languages.
if ( year is not divisible by 4) then (it is a common year)
else
if ( year is not divisible by 100) then (it is a leap year)
else
if ( year is not divisible by 400) then (it is a common year)
else (it is a leap year)

Another way "I tested having the app set the date picker to Feb 29th but it crashes if there is no Feb 29th on the current year." is if there is an error, you might be able to tell the app this is a leap year using the Screen1.ErrorOccured block to trap the mistake.
However, since your app is not going to be around forever, you just might note the leap years in the next 18 years and compare them with the year of interest:
Leap Years 2008 – 2032
| Year | February 29 – day of the week |
|---|---|
| 2008 | Friday |
| 2012 | Wednesday |
| 2016 | Monday |
| 2020 | Saturday |
| 2024 | Thursday |
| 2028 | Tuesday |
| 2032 | Sunday |
or just about forever:
The next leap year will be in 2012. The leap year will then occur successively every 4 years so it will follow in 2016, 2020, 2024, and so forth. However, as we can see from the leap years listed below - there are years in which we do not have a leap year. This is as a result of the Gregorian calendar which has us skip a leap year every 100 years to make up for the fact that 11 minutes had to be shaved off the 365.25 year.

Try this, to be a leap year, the year number must be divisible by four – except for end-of-century years, which must be divisible by 400

another way to check leap year:
make a date of 1st March of some year, minus one day, check the date is 28 or 29.

here is the simple logic to determine whether the given year is a leap year or not,
Initialize leap = false
If (year%400 = 0), then leap = true
If (year%4 =0 AND year%100 ≠ 0) then leap = true
print leap
