The flag to detect preview rendering I found.
How can I detect the editor view is active and not the rendering engine?

A shader can check the VolumeData's RayParameter.

For example this is a shader's output routine. It outputs a different color depending if it's rendered within the editor or the picture viewer.

  
Vector MandelbrotData::Output(PluginShader *chn, ChannelData *cd)  
{  
  if (cd->vd)  
  {  
      RayParameter *rp = cd->vd->GetRayParameter();  
      if (rp)  
      {  
          if (rp->internal_render)  
              return Vector(1.0,0.0,0.0);  
      }  
  }  
  
  return 1.0;  
}
