Call Process from VF Page Button

Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to call a Process from a Visualforce page button?  My situation is that I have a custom object with a Master-Detail relationship to the Opportunity object.  When the user creates a record of the custom object, I want to have a button that would create an associated Case when clicked.  In the past, I have done this via a URL hack, but I would like to use something more scalable like a Process but I'm not sure how to get the button to do this.  Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

If i understood your requirement correctly, After cutom object record is saved, on custom object detail page you will have a create case button. Once user clicks on taht button , you want a case to be created and related to that custom object right? 
This can be done through javascript custom button.

Thanks @sushilbpositive.  Yes, you understand my requirement correctly.  However, I am not very familiar with JavaScript.  Do you happen to have any sample code on how it would work?
