How do I auto-size-locate textbox

[Wadigzon]

I have the following scenario:

in one line I have, textbox1, textbox2, and textbox3

textbox2 will always be the separator ">" (constant width)

textbox1 and textbox3 will come from a data source, given that I set up the width of textbox1 and textbox3 as a fixed value with the
mouse in design mode. There will always be empty spaces (when text is shorter) or text cut out (when text is longer), texbox1 is
left justified, textbox3 is right justified. I would like avoid empty spaces in between and put the nicely text on the report whatever the value of the data is. This implies setting the width of textbox1 and textbox3 dynamically to account for the amount of text in the incoming data. and probably also changing the location X value of the text so that text appears one next to the other ( I would like to avoid empty spaces as much as possible)

Hello,

There aren't any mechanisms provided in Telerik Reporting that would allow the textboxes to adjust to the width of the text. However, you can build your own custom logic implementing this scenario. 
Please take a look at the following thread, elaborating on your case: 
Auto size for textbox

Another thing you can do is use only one TextBox, instead of 3. Its expression will look like the following:
=Fields.Field1 + " > " + Fields.Field2. This way, you can control the spacing. In this scenario, however, you will lose the ability to align right the text in textBox3.

Yes. My solution was to just have one field in design mode, and do text concatenation in the background. I can live with this.
