Double pixel size of a window?

Question

Is there a way to double the pixel size of a window, and only that window, that draws to the screen using GDI?

What do you mean by "double pixel size"? enlarge to 2x the size? — wizlog, Nov 07 '11 at 17:40
After extensive research, this can't be done. You might want to try using a magnifier for a specific window, but apart from that... — wizlog, Nov 08 '11 at 02:23
@wizlog It can be done, it would just require me to get off of my lazy ass and code a DLL that hooks the drawing, window creation, and mouse position get functions and double everything. — Avery3R, Nov 09 '11 at 00:35
If the software isn't readily available, you should of mentioned that, and offered more than a bounty of just 50 rep. — wizlog, Nov 09 '11 at 01:47
@wizlog I wasn't sure whether or not it was avaliable, and 50 was the max rep I put on a bounty. — Avery3R, Nov 09 '11 at 02:00

Do you mean:

Change the DPI of the window? The answer is no.
Change the dimensions of the window? The answer is yes via GetWindowPos/SetWindowPos.
Zoom the window? Not unless you're using Direct2D/DirectX (in which case you can use a shader). You have to do this yourself.
