WPF CheckBox with "Button" appearance

I need a button-like control that can have a Checked property, so that when clicked it stays pressed.

I had that functionality in WinForms, with the CheckBox control, setting the Appearance property to "Button".

Can someone help me?

WPF has a built-in ToggleButton control that serves this purpose. If you need to change the visual appearance of this default control you will need to apply a new Template (ControlTemplate) to it.

Use a ToggleButton, it has all the functionality you see in a CheckBox since it is derived from it.
