convert NSTextField to Label

Question

I am using following functions for converting textfield to label and vice versa

-(void)convertLabelToTextField : (NSTextField *)Inlabel
{
    [Inlabel setBezeled:YES];
    [Inlabel setDrawsBackground:YES];
    [Inlabel setEditable:YES];
    [Inlabel setSelectable:YES];
}

-(void)convertTextFieldToLable : (NSTextField *)textField
{

    [textField setDrawsBackground:NO];
    [textField setEditable:NO];
    [textField setSelectable:NO];
    [textField setBezeled:NO];

}

But my UI is not consistent.

[textField setStringValue:@"My Label"];
[textField setBezeled:NO];

Try setting Resizing mask

[textField setAutoresizingMask: NSViewMinXMargin | NSViewWidthSizable | NSViewMaxXMargin | NSViewMinYMargin | NSViewHeightSizable | NSViewMaxYMargin];
