How can I apply the style of a ToolBar CheckBox to a regular CheckBox?

I would like to style a regular CheckBox so it looks like a CheckBox inside a Toolbar:

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
  <CheckBox Style="{What to put here?}">
    <Image Source="someImage.png" Stretch="None" />
  </CheckBox>
</StackPanel>

Is there a way to obtain a reference to the Style use by the ToolBar and 'bind' to it?

EDIT: The reason for this is because I want a few simple buttons to control the Visibility of some elements and I don't want to use a ToolBar just for this.

Never mind, I found the solution:

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
  <CheckBox Style="{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.CheckBoxStyleKey}}">
    <Image Source="someImage.png" Stretch="None" />
  </CheckBox>
</StackPanel>

I think you might need to use a ToggleButton or make a control template, You might find the following urls useful:
