events in custom control in wpf

I've made this user control and it works well, I'm trying to covert it to a Custom Control, but I can't hook up my handler to those 3 events.
any help will be appreciated.

 <Canvas x:Class="SMFU.UserControls.Public.MovableChildCanvas"
         xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
         xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" 
         xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
         xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SMFU.UserControls.Public"
         mc:Ignorable="d" 
            
         Height="auto" Width="auto"
            
         Background="Transparent"
         MouseLeftButtonDown="canvas_MouseLeftButtonDown"
         MouseLeftButtonUp="canvas_MouseLeftButtonUp"
         MouseMove="canvas_MouseMove"  >
 </Canvas>

You can declare and register routing events in your custom control, and override the event method:

 class MyButton : Button
     {
         public static readonly RoutedEvent MyEventRoutedEvent =
         EventManager.RegisterRoutedEvent("MyEvent", RoutingStrategy.Bubble, typeof(EventHandler<MyEventRoutedEventArgs>), typeof(MyButton));
         //CLR
         public event RoutedEventHandler MyEvent
         {
             add { this.AddHandler(MyEventRoutedEvent, value); }
             remove { this.RemoveHandler(MyEventRoutedEvent, value); }
         }
    
         protected override void OnClick()
         {
             base.OnClick();
    
             MyEventRoutedEventArgs args = new MyEventRoutedEventArgs(MyEventRoutedEvent, this);
             args.ClickTime = DateTime.Now;
             this.RaiseEvent(args);
         }
     }

Declare the MyEventRoutedEventArgs:

  class MyEventRoutedEventArgs : RoutedEventArgs
     {
         public MyEventRoutedEventArgs(RoutedEvent routedEvent, object source) : base(routedEvent, source) { }
    
         public DateTime ClickTime { get; set; }
     }

Then you can use it in the control like local:MyEventRoutedEvent.MyEvent="Event_MyEvent"

hi @DaisyTian-MSFT thanks for replying, I just want to hook up a method in custom control class itself in my customControls library not in the target project, and why I have to do all these stuff with events that already exists:MouseLeftButtonDown, MouseLeftButtonUp, MouseMove. mycustomControl inherited from Canvas which already has those events.

the solution is easy if i inheret mycustomControl from UserControl just one line in Xaml and my method in code behind(as my shown in my post code ).

You specify multiple events in xaml with the same handler to hook the three events in one:

 <Canvas.Style>
         <Style TargetType="Canvas">
             <EventSetter Event="MouseMove" Handler="Canvas_MouseEvent"/>
             <EventSetter Event="MouseLeftButtonDown" Handler="Canvas_MouseEvent"/>
             <EventSetter Event="MouseLeftButtonUp" Handler="Canvas_MouseEvent"/>
         </Style>
     </Canvas.Style>
