Default Swing Wing Aileron Function

I am considering building my own swing wing concept plane with two stroke prop power, a single tail, ailerons, rudder, and elevator.

When the wings are swept back, do the ailerons continue to function or would independent elevator halfs take over as ailerons? I assume I could mix a computer radio to eliminate any signal to the ailerons when the wings are swept and redirect that function to the elevator halfs. Is this goofy and if so, how is this done properly.

I’ve never considered a swing wing before so be nice. The sketch is kind of what I have in mind.
