Export the Grid to Excel after Confirmation

Environment

Product Progress® Kendo UI® Grid for JSP
Operating System Windows 8 64bit
Browser IE
Browser Version 11

Description

How can I implement a custom Yes or No confirmation message to the user on clicking the Export to Excel button where Yes exports the Grid and No cancels the task?
