private AutomationElementCollection FindAutomationElement(
    AutomationElement rootElement)
{
    if (rootElement == null)
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("Root element cannot be null.");
    }

    PropertyCondition conditionOn =

    PropertyCondition conditionIndeterminate =
        new PropertyCondition(
        TogglePattern.ToggleStateProperty, ToggleState.Indeterminate);

    // Use any combination of the preceding condtions to 
    // find the control(s) of interest
