Expose your class to COM by checking in the project properties. qr code in vb6
This is the most popular and often the quickest method to integrate QR codes into a VB6 application. An ActiveX control ( .ocx file) is a reusable software component that can be added to the VB6 toolbox. Once added, you can drag and drop it onto a form and control its properties and methods through code, much like a standard button or textbox.
Send the image to a web service like https://api.qrserver.com/v1/read-qr-code/ .
You can print a QR code in VB6 just like any other graphic element, either on a form (using Form.Print methods) or within a report (using a PictureBox or an Image control on the report). The QR code can be sized appropriately on the printed page. regsvr32 QRCodeGen

QR codes in VB6 are not only possible but practical for modernizing legacy applications. You have three clear paths:
If Len(result) > 0 Then Text1.Text = result Else Text1.Text = "(no QR code detected)" End If
Requires an active internet connection; potential security risks if transmitting highly sensitive data to a third-party server. Method 2: Using the Google Chart API via WebBrowser Control
