Object type of active object (_this)
Syntax: @getthistype
Return: string
If no workfile is open, or if no object has yet been opened in a workfile, the function will return the string "NONE".
This latter behavior is in contrast to using the data member syntax “_this.@type”, which will generate an error in cases like this where the active object is undefined.
