Well, it's probably difficult for others to offer too many suggestions since we don't know WHICH ActiveX control this is (native to Windows or a 3rd party control), but as a general rule, if the control exposes properties, you can manipulate them in VBA.
This is an entirely different control, with different properties, but here's an example to show the general idea you might be able to implement if you know the appropriate properties for your control.
This control exposes several properties and an event, called NodeClick, which fires when any node in the tree is clicked.
CODE
Private Sub TreeViewMenu_NodeClick(ByVal Node As Object) ' This is a treeview control with exposes a "NodeClick" event
Dim dbs As Database
Dim intNodeIndex As Integer
Dim strNodeCommand As String
Dim testnode As Variant
Dim appC As New Appconstants
On Error GoTo errHandler
Call FormCaption(frm:=Me, sCap:=Node.Text) ' each node in the control has a .text property. Call the procedure "FormCaption" to swap out the form's caption for each selection in the treeview
intNodeIndex = Node.Index ' each node has a .Index property
testnode = Node.Key 'each node has a .Key property
strNodeCommand = DLookup("Argument", "tblTreemenu", "tblTreemenu.key = '" & testnode & "'") ' retrieve the name of the argument from a lookup table. it'll be either a form name or one of two other actions
Select Case strNodeCommand
Case "Exit" ' if the user clicks the node labelled "exit", we bail out and go home for the day
Me.sfrmDisplay.SourceObject = "frmBlank"
Set dbs = CurrentDb
dbs.Properties!AppTitle = appC.AppName
Me.Application.RefreshTitleBar
Application.Quit
Case "Calculator" ' if the user wants to open the pop-up calculator, it's different from loading a subform
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmCalculator", acNormal
Case Else ' otherwise, load the form into the subform control and reexpand all of the nodes in the tree view
Me.sfrmDisplay.SourceObject = strNodeCommand
ActiveXCtl4.Nodes(intNodeIndex).Expanded = True
End Select

If Err <> AppErr.FormNotFound Then

Resume Cleanup
