Setting the cell on NSTextField

I have a custom NSTextFieldCell that i want to set on a NSTextField.
If i set it on the IB it works fine.

enter image description here

And this gets it working like this:

enter image description here

But i want to set it programmatically and i try something like this: 

-(void)awakeFromNib{

    NSRect theRect = NSRectFromCGRect( NSMakeRect(50, 100, 100, 100));
    NSTextField *inputField = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:theRect];
    DRKHUDTextFieldCell *theC = [[DRKHUDTextFieldCell alloc] initTextCell:@"textfield"];
    [inputField setCell:theC];

    [[_window contentView] addSubview:inputField];

    }

This is the result i get:

What is going wrong? Is my code bad or what?

Here is a working solution in swift. Above Objective C answer was not complete and hence didn't work for me.

let cell = CustomTextFieldCell(textCell: "")
self.cell = cell
self.isBordered = true
self.backgroundColor = .white
self.isBezeled = true
self.bezelStyle = .squareBezel
self.isEnabled = true
self.isEditable = true
self.isSelectable = true

You need to reset all the properties if you replace cell property. These are default values, try setting your own values matching your case.

Try this way, It is working fine:

 NSRect theRect = NSRectFromCGRect( NSMakeRect(50, 100, 100, 100));

    NSTextField *inputField = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:theRect];

    NSTextFieldCell *theC = [[NSTextFieldCell alloc] initTextCell:@"textfield"];

    [inputField setCell:theC];

    [inputField setBordered:YES];

    [inputField setBackgroundColor:[NSColor whiteColor]];

    [inputField setBezeled:YES];

    [inputField setBezelStyle:0];

   [[_window contentView] addSubview:inputField];
