Automatically adjust stretch based on variable text length attributes

I'm trying to create a dynamic block that looks like the attached image.  It would have three editable text attributes (separated by the vertical lines in the attached image) that can be any length.  I would like the block to automatically adjust size (I'm assuming with stretch parameter/action) based on the length of each of the three text attributes.  So that would mean the overall block would need to adjust length, and the vertical separation lines would need to move.  Can someone let me know if this is possible, and if so, get me started down the right path?  Thanks.

Unfortunately not. There is no way to adjust lines based on the length of text/mtext objects in a block.

That's a bummer.  AutoCAD is essentially already doing it with their "Text Frame" functionality.

Yeah the text frame can work, but it only does rectangles. There is a lisp somewhere which does rounded rectangles, but there's nothing which can do the shapes you want and for them to stretch with the text
