Web Page attribute collection with VB 6

I would like to evaluate a web page and collect data from it using VB 6.0. The type information I would like to collect includes the number of links, text box boundary information, etc. I am able to collect the information using Rational Visual Test but... think there must be a cleaner way. There is a Rational Visual Test Activex Helper but I am unable to find any information on this. Anyone have any ideas?

Data Transfer Control? I know there is one out there, but I've never used it. You can also use the Web-browser control and parse the links. Like a Link Scanner. Write a linklist that alphabetizes and sorts the links.
