If I understand the NSView correctly... it make a frame in the window (NSWindow)

Here is the code, not sure if its correct...

Applescript:

use framework "Foundation"
use framework "AppKit"
use scripting additions

property arguments : missing value

on run
   if current application's NSThread's isMainThread() as boolean then
       my performDialog:arguments
   else
       my performSelectorOnMainThread:"performDialog:" withObject:arguments waitUntilDone:true
   end if
end run

on performDialog:arguments
   set {theWidth, theHeight} to {600, 300}
   set theWindow to createWindowWithRect(0, 0, theWidth, theHeight)
   -- Set the NSRect for the NSView
   set {topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight} to {20, 20, 300, 150}
   set viewFrame to createView(topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight)
   theWindow's contentView()'s addSubview:viewFrame
   
   set thePopUpButton to createPopupButton({"Red", "Green", "Blue"}, topLeft, top / 2, bottom / 2, bottomRight)
   viewFrame's addSubview:thePopUpButton
   
   theWindow's |center|()
   theWindow's makeKeyAndOrderFront:me
end performDialog:

on createPopupButton(entryList, xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set popUpButtonSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set thePopup to current application's NSPopUpButton's alloc()'s initWithFrame:popUpButtonSize
   thePopup's addItemsWithTitles:entryList
   thePopup's selectItemWithTitle:(item 1 of entryList)
   return thePopup
end createPopupButton

on createWindowWithRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set windowSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set winStyle to (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskTitled as integer) + (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskClosable as integer)
   set theWindow to current application's NSWindow's alloc()'s initWithContentRect:windowSize styleMask:winStyle backing:2 defer:yes
   return theWindow
end createWindowWithRect

on createView(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set frameSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set theView to current application's NSView's alloc()'s initWithFrame:frameSize
end createView

Trying to understand the constantOffset between 2 controls of NSPopUpButton
If I change the constantOffset from 0 - 35 there less is greater distance between.

Applescript:

use framework "Foundation"
use framework "AppKit"
use scripting additions

property constantOffset : 8
property arguments : missing value

on run
   if current application's NSThread's isMainThread() as boolean then
       my performDialog:arguments
   else
       my performSelectorOnMainThread:"performDialog:" withObject:arguments waitUntilDone:true
   end if
end run

on performDialog:arguments
   set {windowWidth, windowHeight} to {600, 300}
   set theWindow to createWindowWithRect(0, 0, windowWidth, windowHeight)
   -- Set the NSRect for the NSView
   set {topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight} to {constantOffset, 0, windowWidth / 2, windowHeight / 2}
   set viewFrame to createView(topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight)
   theWindow's contentView()'s addSubview:viewFrame
   set thePopUpButton1 to createPopupButton({"Red", "Green", "Blue"}, topLeft, top / 2, bottom / 2, bottomRight)
   viewFrame's addSubview:thePopUpButton1
   ---
   set {topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight} to {bottom / 2 - constantOffset, 0, windowWidth / 2, windowHeight / 2}
   set viewFrame to createView(topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight)
   theWindow's contentView()'s addSubview:viewFrame
   set thePopUpButton2 to createPopupButton({"Strawberry", "Rasberry", "Blackberry"}, topLeft, top / 2, bottom / 2, bottomRight)
   viewFrame's addSubview:thePopUpButton2
   
   log viewFrame's frame()
   
   theWindow's |center|()
   theWindow's makeKeyAndOrderFront:me
end performDialog:

on createPopupButton(entryList, xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set popUpButtonSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set thePopup to current application's NSPopUpButton's alloc()'s initWithFrame:popUpButtonSize
   thePopup's addItemsWithTitles:entryList
   thePopup's selectItemWithTitle:(item 1 of entryList)
   return thePopup
end createPopupButton

on createWindowWithRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set windowSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set winStyle to (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskTitled as integer) + (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskClosable as integer)
   set theWindow to current application's NSWindow's alloc()'s initWithContentRect:windowSize styleMask:winStyle backing:2 defer:yes
   return theWindow
end createWindowWithRect

on createView(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set frameSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
   set theView to current application's NSView's alloc()'s initWithFrame:frameSize
end createView
