Is there a way to change the whole background color of a UITextField of a UIAlertController?

Question

I'm trying to change the background color of a UITextField of a UIAlertController.

First, I added the UITextField using this code:

[alertController addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler:^(UITextField *tfPrompt) {
    self.textField = tfPrompt;
}];

After, in another moment, I tried to change it's background color using this code:

[self.textField setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];

But this is what I got:

What I really want is to fill the whole background of this UITextField. Is this possible? Thanks for any advice!

I'm sorry. I wrote the wrong code here. I updated my answer. — Roberto Sampaio, Mar 16 '16 at 16:00
may be the textfield is present in a uiview, you should try to find that view and chage its background color too. — Teja Nandamuri, Mar 16 '16 at 16:10

This is part of the UITextField's borderStyle attribute.

Thanks for your advice, but what I needed to do was set the background color of UITextField's superview. – Roberto Sampaio Mar 16 '16 at 18:13
