Sorry for my previous rude reply.

Sven made me know that by "event" you did not mean an object pascal 
language "Event" (i.e. a callback), but a "TEvent instance".

Here, of course you can use both a TCriticalSection instance (i.e. a 
Mutex) as a TEvent Instance (i.e. a semaphore) for thread synchronizing.

(It's a shame that the creators of our brand of the Object Pascal 
Language once chose to invent new notions for commonly use concepts 
(Callback -> Event, Mutex -> CriticalSection, TEvent -> Semaphore, array 
of Boolean -> Set, ("object" for a kind of class (i.e. a type), instead 
of an instance of same is not used any more...)
