How did you get the handle?

At the lowest level, you get the current state by sending a BM_GETCHECK
message to the window, and you set the state by sending a BM_SETCHECK
message.  MSDN describes the parameters you need to send.  If you're
doing raw API calls, you can use win32api.SendMessage to do it.
