Isn't chr(9) a tab? Perhaps you mean CRLF instead?

CRLF is Carriage Return (Enter)

You can just use TAB itself or
Since you are using smart string you can create the space for tab yourself (4 spaces usually)

BETTERDIALOGS accept some html tags.
for example if i want to insert a carriage return my string is

B4X:

' insert a carriage return and line feed'
msg = "my first Line <BR> my second line"

' insert some spaces from two word'
msg = "my first word &nbsp;&nbsp; my second word after 2 spaces"

Now i want to know if exist a tag that simulates a TAB character in html this is &#09 but not work in better dialog
