Use the KeyDown event.
Examine the KeyCode to see if it is the apostrophe
Examine the Shift to see if Ctrl is down.

If this is for one control only, use the control's KeyDown.
If it is for all controls on a form, set the form's KeyPreview property on,
and use the KeyDown event of the form.

If you need to destroy the keystroke, set KeyCode = 0.
