Source: How to use Password ActiveX from SAP Portal
1. Create new VS project as "Windows Form Control Library" (Run VS as administrator)
2. Go to project Property ==> Compile ==> scroll down near botton, check at "Register Com for Interop"
3. Add source code:

Imports System.Text

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

'/// Steps to create ActiveX control with DotNet
'/// 1.Register to COM Interop: Project property => Build => Register to COM Interop
'/// 2.Class Declaration: Set ProgId for the ActivexControl and class interface as ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual
'/// 3.Construction: Set up the remoting communication channel for data exchange
'/// between ActiveX COM Interop Service and B1
'/// 4.ComRegisterFunction: Register/UnRegister COM
'/// 5.Property: Mark the property of ActiveX used in B1 as ComVisible

4. Build solution, if the error "..COM interop not register...":
- Run "Developer Command Prompt" as administrator
- Change the folder to .net and run command:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>regasm.exe /tlb "C:\Program Files (x86)\xxx\xxx.dll"
5. From SAP B1 Addon Project, Add reference to that dll
6. Declare as item and use.
Dim active As B1ActiveX.Control = oAtiveX.Object
Dim control as control= active .ControlA
