Directory name where the files for the specified widgetset are located.

Description

DisplayNameToDirName is a String function used to convert the specified descriptive name for a widgetset to the directory where its files are stored.

The return value refers to a directory located in the ($LazarusDir)/lcl/interfaces directory.

ADisplayName contains the descriptive name for the widgetset as returned from DirNameToDisplayName, and should contain a value from the LCLPlatformDisplayNames constant. Case is not significant for the argument value.

DisplayNameToDirName iterates over the values in LCLPlatformDisplayNames to locate the position for the value in ADisplayName. The corresponding value from LCLPatformDirNames is used as the return value. If the specified descriptive name is not found, the value 'gtk2' is used.

Added in LCL 3.0.
