MT4 trading platform API Manager - get securities per group

Question

I am using API manager for the trading platform MetaTrader 4

I need to get ALL SECURITIES per GROUP

for example GROUP=preliminary|SECUTIRY_0=Forex|SECUTIRY_1=CFD|SECUTIRY_2=|

i have some tips how to do it below:

• 1. After request Securities config using CfgRequestSymbolGroup(ConSymbolGroup configurations) you got all securities.*
• 2. So you got ConSymbolGroup for each security and now that configurations[0] is forex, configurations[1] is cfd and configurations[2] is metals for example.*
• 3. Then request group config using CfgRequestGroup(int total) you will get ConGroup structure for each group.
• 4. ConGroup has ConGroupSec secgroups[MAX_SEC_GROUPS] parameter - security group settings.*
• 5. The indexes will be the same so secgroups[0] is forex settings for this group, secgroups[1] is cfd and so on.*

my code is below but can not get the desired result, in the code below i get the list with SECURITIES AND THE LIST WITH GROUPS but can not get indexes based on description above to get the result in this format

GROUP=preliminary|SECUTIRY_0=Forex|SECUTIRY_1=CFD|SECUTIRY_2=|

    // 1 step
    // request all securities
    // list with securities
    ConSymbolGroup securities[MAX_SEC_GROUP];

    int result = ExtManager->CfgRequestSymbolGroup(securities);

    // 2 step
    // request all groups
    // list with groups

    ConGroup *groups = ExtManager->CfgRequestGroup(&total);
    ConGroupSec secgroups[MAX_SEC_GROUPS];

    int index_secgroup = 0;
    int index_security = 0;


    for (int i = 0; i < MAX_SEC_GROUP; i++)     
        for (int i =0; i < total; i++)              
            ExtProcessor.PrintResponse(size,                    
                "GROUP=%s|"
                "SECUTIRY_0=%s|"    
                "SECUTIRY_1=%s|"
                "SECUTIRY_2=%s|\r\n",
                groups[i].group,
                securities[0].name,
                securities[1].name,
                securities[2].name);

}

Here is code snippet which will give you required data, so you can output it as you need:

ConSymbolGroup sgconfigurations[MAX_SEC_GROUP];
_manager->Manager->CfgRequestSymbolGroup(sgconfigurations);

int total = 0;
ConGroup* result = _manager->Manager->CfgRequestGroup(&total);

for (int i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
    for (int j = 0; j < MAX_SEC_GROUP; j++) {
        if (result[i].secgroups[j].show == 1 && sgconfigurations[j].name != NULL && sgconfigurations[j].name[0] != '\0') {
            char* groupName = result[i].group;
            char* securityName = sgconfigurations[j].name;
        }
    }
}
