Underline text when mouse passes over it

Hi,

I have a GUI with a table and 3 text strings that I will use as a button.

I want to underline that text string, that is an axes child, when i pass the mouse over it.

These are the buttons:

% Add button
set(handles.ax_bt_add,  'Visible','on','HandleVisibility','on',...
                        'Units','centimeters',...
                        'Position',[.5+tabDim(3)+.5,12,3,1],...
                        'color','none')
text(handles.ax_bt_add,0.1,0.5, 'Add','FontSize', 14,...
                                'Units','norm',...
                                'HorizontalAlignment','left',...
                                'VerticalAlignment', 'middle'     )
handles.ax_bt_add.XAxis.Visible = 'off';
handles.ax_bt_add.YAxis.Visible = 'off';

% Edit button
set(handles.ax_bt_edit, 'Visible','on','HandleVisibility','on',...
                        'Units','centimeters',...
                        'Position',[.5+tabDim(3)+.5,10.5,3,1],...         
                        'color','none'                             )
text(handles.ax_bt_edit,0.1,0.5,    'Edit','FontSize', 14,...
                                    'Units','norm',...
                                    'HorizontalAlignment','left',...
                                    'VerticalAlignment', 'middle'   )
handles.ax_bt_edit.XAxis.Visible = 'off';
handles.ax_bt_edit.YAxis.Visible = 'off';

% Delete button
set(handles.ax_bt_delete,   'Visible','on','HandleVisibility','on',...
                            'Units','centimeters',...
                            'Position',[.5+tabDim(3)+.5,9,3,1],...
                            'color','none'                             )
text(handles.ax_bt_delete,0.1,0.5,  'Delete','FontSize', 14,...
                                    'Units','norm',...
                                    'HorizontalAlignment','left',...
                                    'VerticalAlignment', 'middle'   )
handles.ax_bt_delete.XAxis.Visible = 'off';
handles.ax_bt_delete.YAxis.Visible = 'off';

Then, I saw a way to know when mouse is over that text, here in the forum. It works perfectly. But now I want to know how to underline it.

function mat_fig_WindowButtonMotionFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to mat_fig (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

% get the current position of the mouse
mousePos = get(hObject,'CurrentPoint');
mouseX   = mousePos(1);
mouseY   = mousePos(2);
hChildren = get(hObject,'Children');
for k=1:length(hChildren)
    hUiControl = hChildren(k);
    % get the child position
    uiControlPos = get(hUiControl,'Position');
    % create the x and y lower (L) and upper (U) bounds
    uiControlXL  = uiControlPos(1);
    uiControlXU  = (uiControlPos(1)+uiControlPos(3));
    uiControlYL  = uiControlPos(2);
    uiControlYU  = (uiControlPos(2)+uiControlPos(4));
    % check to see if the mouse is over the control
    if mouseX>=uiControlXL && mouseX<=uiControlXU && ...
            mouseY>=uiControlYL && mouseY<=uiControlYU
        hTag=get(hUiControl,'tag');
        if ~strcmp(hTag,'tab_mat') %this is just to ignore the table
            axTxt=get(hUiControl,'Children')
            set(axTxt(1),??????) %<------------------What should I put here???<---------------------
        end
    end
end

What would be the ??????
