Top element prevet firing of MouseUp for the back element

Question

I'm designing a UserControl in WPF. There is a canvas with some paths. Among those path I have two Ellipses (top and bottom of the picture). I'm doing some works when MouseUp event of the Ellipses is fired but when the user clicks on the plus/minus path they are not firing! I have seenthis and this. But It seems here the bubbling and tunneling is not the case because minus/plus paths are not contained in ellipses. Here is the code for one of the ellipses:

<Canvas Width="96" Height="550" MouseUp="plusPath_MouseUp" Background="Transparent">
    <Path x:Name="Path" Width="96" Height="550" Canvas.Left="0"  StrokeThickness="6" StrokeLineJoin="Round" Stroke="#FF465546" Canvas.Top="0" Stretch="Fill" Data="..."/>
    <Ellipse x:Name="zoomIn"  Width="68" Height="68" Canvas.Left="14" Canvas.Top="18.5143" />
    <Ellipse x:Name="zoomOut" Width="68" Height="68" Canvas.Left="14" Canvas.Top="468.79" />
    <Path  x:Name="minusPath" Cursor="Hand" Width="36" Height="6" Canvas.Left="30" Canvas.Top="500" Stretch="Fill" StrokeThickness="6" StrokeLineJoin="Round" Stroke="#FF87A698" Data="F1 M 33.0001,501.956L 63.0001,501.956"/>
    <Path  x:Name="plusPath" Cursor="Hand" Width="36.0001" Height="36" Canvas.Left="30" Canvas.Top="34" Stretch="Fill" StrokeThickness="6" StrokeLineJoin="Round" Stroke="#FF87A698" Data="M 34.0658,52.181L 64.0659,52.181M 49.0657,67.181L 49.0657,37.181"/>
</Canvas>

Should I handle the MouseUp event of the minus/plus paths or there is a better way?

EDIT: I'm looking for the best practices.

Answer 1

You can put both Ellipse and Path into Grid and catch MouseUp="zoomIn_MouseUp" there:

<Grid Cursor="Hand" MouseUp="zoomIn_MouseUp" Canvas.Left="14" Canvas.Top="18.5143">
    <Ellipse x:Name="zoomIn"  Width="68" Height="68"/>
    <Path x:Name="plusPath" StrokeThickness="6" Width="36.0001" Height="36" StrokeLineJoin="Round" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="#FF87A698" Data="M 34.0658,52.181L 64.0659,52.181M 49.0657,67.181L 49.0657,37.181"/>
</Grid>
