TestComplete can't upload file in headless mode

Hi,

 

I have a test that interacts with windows popup to select a file and upload it. It uses the following object to perform the action:

It works fine when I run the test normally, but when I'm running in headless mode, I'm getting the error below:

Is there a way around this?

    Headless is without drawing UI content, but you seem to be interacting with the Open dialog, which requires to the draw the UI. I also think, that headless requires using XPath expressions and CSS selectors.

    There may be a driver, which allows you to upload and save files via headless.
