Identifying Object's Autowidth value

Hi All,
I have a text field (Txtfield1) set on Autowidth = true, i wish to use it's width to identify its neighbor (Txtfield2) text field's Left position.

i.e. Txtfield1.Width = Txtfield2.Left
I've set it on a BeforePrintEvent of the Header that contain the textfield but doesnt work ok.
How I will be able to do it? Your thoughts please..

Thanks in advance!

Maybe the Dock property of the two text components can help?
If they are both Docked Left and the first one is set to AutoWidth = true then the second one should shift position.
Using the dock property will depend on your report layout though and the Z ordering or the two text components.
