Detect change in mouse cursor

Question

Is it possible to detect the cursor change when the mouse moves over a control - for example when the cursor moves to the side of a window it changes from default to the Cursors.SizeWE (left-right arrow) cursor. I have tried using the CursorChanged event but it doesn't fire when the cursor changes. Is there something I am not setting in the event handler or do I need to use another event handler? The current code I am using is:

 Private Sub myForm_CursorChanged(sender As Object,
    e As EventArgs) _
    Handles Me.CursorChanged

 MyCur As Windows.Forms.Cursor = Me.Cursor

 End Sub

A way is with SetWinEventHook
with
EVENT_OBJECT_NAMECHANGE
and test if idObject = OBJID_CURSOR
in the event hook function
