I have no idea where you get 0 (0pt?).
\starttexdefinition NextboxDimension
\starttabulate
\NC Width \EQ \the\nextboxwd \NC\NR
\NC Height \NC \the\nextboxht \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptexdefinition
\starttext
\dowithnextboxcs
\NextboxDimension
\vbox
{\samplefile{ward}}
\dowithnextboxcs
\NextboxDimension
\vbox
{\setupalign[flushright]
\samplefile{ward}}
\dowithnextboxcs
\NextboxDimension
\vbox
{\hsize=200pt
\samplefile{ward}}
\dowithnextboxcs
\NextboxDimension
\vbox
{\hsize=200pt
\setupalign[flushright]
\samplefile{ward}}
\stoptext
