Hmm, that depends on what is "event", "count" and "wait".

Obviously you can:

   Done_At := Clock + 5.0;
   ...
     -- Upon an event
   if Clock < Done_At then
      Count := Count + 1;
   end if;

Who waits for 5s? Is it a task? Is it blocked? Is the event signaled to
this task? Another task? And so on, including a specification of what is
the GUI library used, Win32 API, Gtk etc.
