What about
NSInteger column = [self columnWithIdentifier:@"Check"];
NSInteger row = [self selectedRow];
NSButtonCell *cell = (NSButtonCell *)[self preparedCellAtColumn:column row:row];
[cell performClick:nil];

Maybe you need to get the preparedCellAtColumn:row: rather than the column’s dataCell.
([self selectedRow] for the row and [self columnWithIdentifier:@"Check"] for the column index).

@Richard Interesting thought, but the NSIndexSet object for selected column indexes is consistently empty.

Instead of
NSTableColumn *checkboxColumn = [self tableColumnWithIdentifier:@"Check"];

maybe try
NSIndexSet *columnIndexes = [self selectedColumnIndexes];
if ([columnIndexes count] > 0) // make sure that there is a selected column
{
NSTableColumn *activeColumn = [[self tableColumns] objectAtIndex:[columnIndexes lastIndex]];
// etc.
}
