You need to create an ActiveX Project using Visual Basic 6 instead of an Application Project.

Components provide reusable code in the form of objects. An application that uses a component’s code, by creating objects and calling their properties and methods, is referred to as a client.

Components can run either in-process or out-of-process with respect to the clients that use their objects. An in-process component, or ActiveX DLL, runs in another application’s process. The client may be the application itself, or another in-process component that the application is using.

Note that if you were going to reference this DLL created by VB6 to a VB.Net Project, you need to add something in your VB.Net Code. Here's a really good tutorial explaining that.
