ANS - NO.. Before powering on the AP, we cannot do this.. We just can mention the MASTER CONTROLLER so that, if the AP doesnt register to any WLC, then the AP tries to joing the master WLC.

However the second option for this is to PRIME THE AP to joing the respective WLC using the below link..

Firstly, this depends on your IOS. If you have a 4.X IOS, this can be done using CLI. Otherwise, you can configure primary/secondary/tertiary controllers.

but before the access point be power on..can i do that in WLC not in access point menu in wlc
