Export doesn't accept special characters #10

When you use the export module of this widget the special characters like ú aren't accepted, and show up as ú. The csv is UTF-8 encoded but we would like to have it in ANSI for windows display. On import in excel you are able to adjust it, but would be better if it could be updated directly so also these characters are accepted.

The data is retrieved in the backend and then exported. That is all UTF-8, which should handle special characters just fine, also on Windows machines. The export in the demo app is provided as an example only on how to handle the export request sent by the widget. Feel free to adjust the Mendix objects to your needs.
