Delphi ActiveX Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+

Create a Wi-Fi QR Code

Demonstrates a QR code that joins a phone to a Wi-Fi network when scanned. A QR code only holds text. Phones recognize text of the form WIFI:T:;S:;P:;; and offer to join the network. T is WPA (also used for WPA2 and WPA3), WEP, or nopass for an open network, and H:true can be added for a hidden network. In the name and the password, the characters backslash, semicolon, comma, colon and double quote must each be preceded by a backslash.
