WPF: How to make a "pushlike" checkbox?

Question

I would like to make a CheckBox that looks exactly like a button. My initial feeble attempt doesn't work at all.

<CheckBox x:Name="test">
    Testing!
    <CheckBox.Template>
        <ControlTemplate>
            <Button>
                <ContentPresenter/>
            </Button>
        </ControlTemplate>
    </CheckBox.Template>
</CheckBox>

The ContentPresenter isn't working (the button is empty) and when the button is clicked, the IsChecked property does not toggle. Also, I don't know how to make the button look pushed when IsChecked is true.

I've just started to write same comment :)

<ToggleButton Name="tb"  Height="45" Width="45">
        <ToggleButton.Style>
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
                <Setter Property="Content" Value="False"/>
                <Style.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="Content" Value="True"/>
                    </Trigger>
                </Style.Triggers>
            </Style>
        </ToggleButton.Style>
    </ToggleButton>

And now as you wanted, Checkbox control:

<CheckBox>
        <CheckBox.Template>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="CheckBox">
                <ToggleButton x:Name="toggleButton">
                </ToggleButton>
                <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True" SourceName="toggleButton">
                        <Setter Property="Content" Value="True"/>
                    </Trigger>
                    <Trigger Property="Content" Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="IsChecked" Value="True"/>
                    </Trigger>
                </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
             </ControlTemplate>
        </CheckBox.Template>
    </CheckBox>

Would a ToggleButton suit your needs? CheckBox derives from it, and so they are very similar.
