Unable to read TreeView in .ASPX page

Question

Hi All

I am doing automation for sites developed in Sharepoint. There are many web parts in the site and many filters to select . I was able to identify the web parts object. However, I am facing dificulty in recognizing the filters. Clicking filters brings up the tree-view containing all the child filters and each has a expand-collapse button, Checkbox and a text associated with it.I wanted a smart way of getting to all the filters. Issues which I am encoutering

a) The filters are encompassed in a div pane and nested tables.These are nested and follow parent -child associations.However I am not able to get to the fliters using parent child relational methods. I tried creating UITestControl using the div pane as a parent object, but couldn't identify the child filters with it. What is the work aournd for it ? Does the Coded UI identify Tree-View objects ?

b) Identifing each filter and storing that as a object looks a waste of time. The filter control could change and that would mess up the code. What approach would be the best to handle such situation ?

Any help would be geatly appreciated.
