How to properly access Legacy Form Field checkboxes in Word 2013 VBA?

Coming from this question I am trying to get and set the values for a Legacy Form Field checkbox (MS Word 2013) – without weirdly scrolling/jumping around on the document. For Text Fields this can be performed by

myField = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("myField").Range.Fields(1).Result ' get
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("myField").Range.Fields(1).Result.Text = myValue ' set

But this doesn't work for checkboxes. What commands can I take in order to access checkboxes accordingly?
