MessageBox.Show("Hour value " + value.ToString() + " cannot be negative. Reset to " + MIN_HOUR.ToString(),
"Invalid Hour", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
}
else
{
//take the modulus to ensure always less than 24 hours
//works even if the value is already within range, or value equal to 24
hour = value % MAX_HOUR;
}
}
