I don't think it is possible to explicitly set the active card using VE. 
 The default card displayed tends to be the panel first in the list.

It is very easy to do programmatically.  You can use the CardLayout's 
show() method to set a specific panel active.


CardLayout layout = (CardLayout)cardPanel.getLayout();

layout.show(cardPanel, "activePanel");


Alternatively, the next() and previous() methods can be used to navigate 
through the sequence of panels in the card layout.


Hope that helps,

Matt.
