How can I detect the results of Conditional Formating using VBA?

I have a开发者_开发问答n excel file that has conditional formating set up to put a check or an x in a cell. How can I create an if statement that will detect which is in there without using the original conditioning formulas?

You can use this homemade function to check if condition is filled: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/CFColors.htm
