Button to check/uncheck table column checkboxes VBA

For my table of column cells, I'd like the checkbox(form control) in each cell to be checked/unchecked with a click of a macro button (form control).

i.e,
for (each table column H cells checkbox)
if (not checked)
check
else
uncheck

From search, I found that people use the name of the checkboxes in the language to check/uncheck. However, since I do not want checkbox name visible, I deleted those. The checkboxes are individually linked to respective column cell.

Since I am uncertain if there will be other type of checkboxes included, I do not want all checkboxes in the activesheet to check/uncheck with activated button; only the column H checkboxes.

I'd appreciate any help with this.
Thank you!

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Try assigning the following macro to your button...

Code:
[color=darkblue]Sub[/color] ToggleCheckBoxes()
    [color=darkblue]Dim[/color] wks [color=darkblue]As[/color] Worksheet
    [color=darkblue]Dim[/color] oCheckBox [color=darkblue]As[/color] CheckBox
    
    [color=darkblue]Set[/color] wks = Worksheets("Sheet1") [color=green]'change the sheet name accordingly[/color]
    
    [color=darkblue]For[/color] [color=darkblue]Each[/color] oCheckBox [color=darkblue]In[/color] wks.CheckBoxes
        [color=darkblue]If[/color] [color=darkblue]Not[/color] Intersect(oCheckBox.TopLeftCell, wks.Columns("H")) [color=darkblue]Is[/color] [color=darkblue]Nothing[/color] [color=darkblue]Then[/color]
            [color=darkblue]If[/color] oCheckBox.Value = xlOff [color=darkblue]Then[/color]
                oCheckBox.Value = xlOn
            [color=darkblue]Else[/color]
                oCheckBox.Value = xlOff
            [color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]If[/color]
        [color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]If[/color]
    [color=darkblue]Next[/color] oCheckBox
[color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color]

Hope this helps!

    [COLOR=darkblue]Next[/COLOR] oCheckBox
[COLOR=darkblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Sub[/COLOR]

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much that worked for me!

If its not too much of trouble, could you help me assigning a similar macro, except this one will:
if (all checkboxes not checked in column H)
check
else
uncheck all
