How can I reference an element inside a control template.

Question

Say I wanna put a checkbox inside a button. Is there anyway for me to reference that checkbox in code? i.e. In Window1.cs I want to write something like: testButton.innerCheckBox.DoStuff();

    <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">        
        <Microsoft_Windows_Themes:ButtonChrome SnapsToDevicePixels="true" x:Name="Chrome" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}" RenderDefaulted="{TemplateBinding IsDefaulted}" RenderMouseOver="{TemplateBinding IsMouseOver}" RenderPressed="{TemplateBinding IsPressed}" ThemeColor="NormalColor">
        <Grid Width="32.083" Height="13.277">
         <ContentPresenter SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" RecognizesAccessKey="True" d:LayoutOverrides="Width, Height"/>
         <CheckBox x:Name="innerCheckBox" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Content="CheckBox"/>
        </Grid>
        </Microsoft_Windows_Themes:ButtonChrome>
    </ControlTemplate>

CheckBox innerCheckBox = testButton.Template.FindName("innerCheckBox", testButton) as CheckBox;
