@Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings => {
    settings.Name = "grid";
    settings.ClientSideEvents.CellSelectionChanging = "function (s, e) { 
        if (e.cellInfo.column.fieldName == 'CategoryID') {
            if (e.newSelectionState == ASPxClientGridSelectionState.Selected) {
                // your code
                e.cancel = true;
            }
        }
    }"; 
    settings.Columns.Add("CategoryID");
