Hi,

Please check below blog for more information in console related post:-
http://amitsalesforce.blogspot.in/search/label/Console
http://amitsalesforce.blogspot.in/2015/03/how-to-open-new-record-inside-console.html

Include JS in VF page 
<apex:includeScript value="/support/console/26.0/integration.js"/>

Write below Java Script code in VF page 
<script>

function openTab(id, name) 
{
 if (sforce.console.isInConsole())
  sforce.console.openPrimaryTab(undefined, '/' + id + '?isdtp=vw', true, name);
 else
  window.top.location.href = '/' + id;
}

</script>

Then use below link to open new record  
<a href="#" onclick="openTab('{!Obj.id}''{!Obj.name}'); return false;">{!Obj.customKey}</a>

Please let us know if this will help u

Thanks

Thanks for your response..its not helpfull.  Your code and the code that i pasted does exactly the same..my issue is not opening a primarytab. issue is once i open a new primarytab focus needs to be shifted to th newly opend tab not the current one. if you look at the screenshot below once i click the clientview button its opening the new
primarytab called vlientview but the focus is still on oldtab. i want the focus to be shifted to new tab. User-added image

Hi KrForce,

Did you find a solution for this?

I'm assuming this is no longer an open question. However in your open primary tab function change the false to true:

  sforce.console.openPrimaryTab(null, '/apex/CanvasAppPage?scontrolCaching=1&id={!contact.ID}', true, 'ClientView', openSuccess, 'salesforceTab');

that should make it work
