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?
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 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.
If the software isn't readily available, you should of mentioned that, and offered more than a bounty of just 50 rep.
@wizlog I wasn't sure whether or not it was avaliable, and 50 was the max rep I put on a bounty.

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.
