You can do something like this:
t = datestr(datetime('now','TimeZone','local','Format','d-MMM-y HH:mm:ss Z'));
This will give you
t = 16-Nov-2015 14:46:33
where t is a string. You can modify the format in the first line. Then, just add this string to your uicontrol().

Undefined function 'datetime' for input arguments of type 'char'.
Error in gui>pushbutton2_Callback (line 314)
t = datestr(datetime('now','TimeZone','local','Format','d-MMM-y HH:mm:ss Z'));
make sure you do not have another function called datetime. datetime is a built in matlab function. if you are unsure if you have another function called date time try first
datetime('now') %should give current date and time.
if that fails then try
which datetime
and see if there is more than one entry and that the only return is located in matlab installation folder.
