It's the other way around. SLEEP can be used inside an event handler, and WAIT cannot.

Correct. If you need to wait for an event to be raised, then you need to use WAIT since that allows the event loop to occur.
But, as Jussi stated, WAIT cannot be used within and event handler. Doing so can lead to event collisions and undefined behavior
including program crash.
