Do we need to call arraylist_new again in a cleared array list when we want to put items.

Hi,
I am using the arraylist library in cython hobby project. So far so good. My project is a win32 api ui library. I have list box control . It has an items property which is internally your arraylist. I need to implement an option to clear all the items from list box. It's okay, because I can call the arraylist_clear function. But after clearing the arraylist, if my user wants to put another set of items what should I do ? Should I call arraylist_free & arraylist_new ?
Thanks in advance.
