Short answer, you don't.
More helpfully, though, you need to get used to focusing on the dataProvider when working with data-driven controls. In your case, you must ensure that the checkbox click event causes the checkbox state to be stored in the dataProvider. To determine if an item is checked, you then look at the particular dataProvider item's property that was set. There is no reasonable way to access this value from the control itself, mainly because the data-driven controls re-use the visual elements when you scroll.
