Here is an example of how you can do it:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Quit")

$Last_Cursor = MouseGetCursor()

While 1
    Sleep(100)
    
    $Current_Cursor = MouseGetCursor()
    
    If $Last_Cursor <> $Current_Cursor Then
        MsgBox(64, "Attention!", _
            StringFormat("Pointer Changed:\n\nPreviouse <%s>, Current <%s>", _
            _GetCursorStringValue($Last_Cursor), _GetCursorStringValue($Current_Cursor)), 3)
        
        $Last_Cursor = $Current_Cursor
    EndIf
WEnd

Func _GetCursorStringValue($iValue)
    Local $aStr_Values[16] = ["Pointing/Grabbing hand", "APPSTARTING", "ARROW (Default?)", "CROSS", "HELP", "IBEAM (Selection)", _
        "ICON", "NO", "SIZE", "SIZEALL", "SIZENESW", "SIZENS", "SIZENWSE", "SIZEWE", "UPARROW", "WAIT"]
    
    If $iValue < UBound($aStr_Values) And $iValue >= 0 Then Return $aStr_Values[$iValue]
    Return $iValue
EndFunc

Func Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc
