As this is something that I need, and also appears to be something that others may have searched for, you will see below the code in here to help someone who was \ is in my position, and a fiddle for the Kendo UI, and the MVC examples.
Because of how my project is organised and is using Typescript the MVC version isnt going to be 1:1 exact but will be close enough for someone to follow.
A few caveats on this is when you pick up the item, you can click anywhere on the row. (if anyone can refine this please post an answer, I will test and if it works I will upvote and also incorporate your answer with working code.
In addition to the above the dataItem that you pick up is picked up in a position relative to where the mouse is. This I will fix over time, but if anyone gets to this before me please feel free as above.
First,
